Summary

This dataset contains records from implanted and not implanted temperature logging tags, body sizes of fish implanted with temperature logging tags, times the fish/tags were transferred from one temperature to another, and the time the temperature recorded by the tag equilibrated with ambient water conditions. Data were collected to compare thermal equilibration rate of temperature recording tags implanted in the coelomic cavity of lab reared brook trout to temperature recording tags not implanted in fish. Tagged fish and not implanted tags were moved rapidly between 8 C and 16 C and also subjected to slow (2 C per hour) thermal ramp.

Purpose

The recent miniaturization of implantable temperature recording tags has made measuring the water temperatures fish experience in the wild possible, but there may be a body size dependent delay in implanted tag detection time to changes in external temperature. To determine if fish body size affects temperature tag detection rate, we implanted 20 Salvelinus fontinalis (127 – 228 mm (FL), 15.1 – 120.4 g) with temperature recording tags and subjected them to rapid temperature changes (±8°C in less than 2-seconds) in the laboratory. Additionally, tags not implanted in fish were placed in the experimental tanks with the fish and experienced the same temperature variation as the tagged fish. These data are specific to the objectives of this study.
