Refuge Tracking in Weakly Electric Fish Across 54 Sensory Landscapes

Listed in Aperta Turkey Open Archive

This dataset contains raw behavioral tracking data from two species of weakly electric fish ( Apteronotus albifrons and Eigenmannia virescens ) performing a closed-loop refuge tracking task.

Description

The data captures the longitudinal position of the fish and the moving refuge across 54 unique sensory conditions, designed to modulate the signal-to-noise ratio (salience) of the environment. Experimental Subjects Total Subjects: 10 Individuals.

Species 1: Apteronotus albifrons . N = 5 individuals. ID Labels: Ankara, Antalya, İstanbul, İzmir, Mersin Species 2: Eigenmannia virescens .

N = 5 individuals. ID Labels: Amasra, Ardahan, Erzincan, Gaziantep, Samsun Each file is a standard Comma-Separated Values ( .csv ) file representing a single experimental trial. File Columns The files do not contain headers.

The column arrangement is as follows: Column Variable Description Units 1 refuge_position The longitudinal position of the moving shuttle/refuge ( r ( t ) ). pixels 2 fish_position The longitudinal position of the fish ( y ( t ) ). pixels Export to Sheets Note on Time: Time stamps are not included in the columns to save space. Data was recorded at a fixed sampling rate. Sampling Rate: 25 Hz (frames per second).

Experimental Conditions (The 54 Conditions) The dataset covers a full factorial design spanning 54 unique sensory landscapes ( 3 × 3 × 3 × 2 = 54 ). Variables: Illumination (3 Levels): Light : ~300–500 lux (High visual salience) Dim : ~20–50 lux Dark : 0 lux (IR illumination only; No visual salience) Conductivity (3 Levels): Low : <50 μ S/cm (High electrosensory salience) Medium : ~300 μ S/cm High : ~700 μ S/cm (Low electrosensory salience/Jamming) Refuge Length (3 Levels): 7 cm 14 cm 21 cm Structure (2 Levels): Windowed : Refuge contains longitudinal slots (visual/electric edges).

Non-windowed : Solid tube.
