Beschrijving

We provide the raw data of 44 satellite-tracked loggerhead sea turtles from different life-stages collected between 2016 and 2018. Depending on life-stage and tag availability a different satellite tag was attached to the loggerhead carapace. Location data were collected using the Argos system. We made publically available for the first time in the Mediterranean: (i) the satellite-tracking data for 17 one-year-aged post-hatchlings of loggerhead sea turtle came from two nests laid on the Mediterranean Spanish coast; (ii) the satellite-tracking data for 4 loggerhead nesting females collected from nesting events occurred on the Spanish Mediterranean coast. Besides, another 23 juvenile and adult loggerhead sea turtles were monitored and their data were made also available. Our dataset provide the turtle identity name or number, the date and coordinates of the location data, and the Argos location class associated. Our data contribute to the knowledge about the spatial use of the loggerhead sea turtle in the Mediterranean Sea and could be used in further analysis regarding habitat use and dispersal of this species in the Mediterranean Sea. Specially, nesting females and post-hatchlings data contribute to shed light about these life-stages related to nesting events out of the usual nesting range in the western Mediterranean, for which data still remains scarce. Also, data could be compared to further similar research in satellite-tracking loggerhead sea turtles in the Mediterranean basin.

Turtles were satellite-tagged and raw data were collected using the Argos system. Dataset includes tracking data of different life-stages: i) 17 one-year-aged post-hatchlings of loggerhead sea turtle came from nests laid on the Mediterranean Spanish coast; ii) 4 loggerhead nesting females collected from nesting events occurred on the Spanish Mediterranean coast; iii) 21 juvenile and 2 adult loggerhead sea turtles from fisheries bycatch. Our data contribute to the knowledge about the spatial use of the loggerhead sea turtle in the Mediterranean Sea and could be used in further analysis regarding habitat use and dispersal of this species in the Mediterranean basin.

Afstamming
Prior to publication data undergo quality control checked which are described in https://github.com/EMODnet/EMODnetBiocheck?tab=readme-ov-file#understanding-the-output All Argos location classes (3, 2, 1, 0, A, B, Z) are included as raw data. Exact duplicate rows of the original file were removed, and longitudes given in 0-360 notation were converted to -180 to 180. One release record per animal (location class NA) was added from the metadata sheet. No Argos locations were provided for turtle Benjamin (tag 62419)
