Code and data from Castro-Santos et al.: Sprinting performance and behavior of shortnose sturgeon

Published by U.S. Geological Survey | Department of the Interior | Metadata Last Checked: January 27, 2026 | Last Modified: 2024-09-19T00:00:00Z
This data release includes the raw data and code used in Castro-Santos et al. (2024): Sprinting performance and behavior of adult shortnose sturgeon (Acipenser brevirostrum). Notably, the code includes several processes used to differentiate among attempts, quantify attempt rate, distance traversed, and endurance of shortnose sturgeon ascending a telemetered flume. The code can be readily adapted to other forms of telemetry analysis, in particulary with respect to processes associated with fish passage at barriers. Additional code is provided that quantifies kinematics variables recorded for the sturgeon as they swam at high speeds in the flume. The kinematics code was modified from Goerig et al (2021): https://doi.org/10.5061/dryad.bg79cnp9x
