Acousonde (Acou) tags provided data on acoustics, depth, and temperature; CTD tags provided data on position and oceanographic profiles (temperature and salinity at depth); FastLoc tags provided high‐resolution (GPS‐based) positions; SLTDR tag provided coarse data on diving activity in bins sampled in 6‐hr periods, except for IDNO 3965 that provided a continuous record of dives at a resolution of 1 m for every second; and the SMRU CTD tag provided data on target depths of dives. Sample size is given in seconds (s) for Acousonde tags, in casts for CTD tags, in number of positions (pos.) for Fastloc‐GPS transmitters, in 6‐hr histograms (6‐hr hist.) for SLTDR tags and in seconds for one SLTDR (#3965). F = female, M = male.
