Simultaneously, the Animal Tracking Facility developed a centralised national database (https://animaltracking.aodn.org.au/) to encourage collaborative research across the Australian research community and provide unprecedented opportunities to monitor broad-scale animal movements. The resulting dataset comprises observations of tagged animals in Australian waters collected by IMOS infrastructure as well as receivers operated by independent research projects and organisations. This dataset constitutes a valuable resource facilitating meta-analysis of animal movement, distributions, and habitat use, and is important for relating species distribution shifts with environmental covariates. This dataset comprises all available (2007 – ongoing) quality-controlled and publicly accessible animal detections collected across the collaborative, continental IMOS network for a range of aquatic species (fish, sharks, rays, reptiles, and mammals). Here, raw animal detections collated via the IMOS Australian Animal Acoustic Telemetry Database have been quality-controlled as per Hoenner et al. (2018). This dataset is updated on a six-monthly basis. Note - There is a static snapshot of the database (up until 2017) (http://dx.doi.org/10.4225/69/5979810a7dd6f), and this has been documented in a Scientific Data Publication (Hoenner et al. 2018).
