These data are the playback files used for the publication: Schmidlin, S., Parcerisas, C., Hubert, J., Watson, M. S., Mees, J., Botteldooren, D., Devos, P., Debusschere, E., & Hablützel, P. I. (2024). Comparison of the effects of reef and anthropogenic soundscapes on oyster larvae settlement. Scientific Reports, 14(1), 12580. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-024-63322-2.

Playback files are organized in folders by experiment days. A metadata file in a json format can be found (metadata.json) with all the metadata necessary to process each recording. The tank recordings are only available upon request due to a memory limitation. Please direct your questions to sarah.schmidlin@vliz.be or clea.parcerisas@vliz.be. A table with the datetimes can be found called table_recordings.xlsx. For more information about the data collection please check the publication.

All the reef files and off-reef from batch 1 and batch 2 were collected by Mayann S. Watson. Funding for the reef recordings in the Netherlands part of the Swimway Waddenzee project; financial contributions from the Waddenfund, the Ministry of Agriculture, Nature Management and Food Safety, and the Dutch provinces Noord-Holland, Groningen and Friesland. All the other files were collected in the framework of LifeWatch Belgium. For more details see Parcerisas, C., Botteldooren, D., Devos, P., & Debusschere, E. (2021).
