Dataset: Effect of invasive tagging on the activity behaviour of Holothuria whitmaei (sea cucumber) at Ningaloo Reef, Western Australia

Description

Data were collected to evaluate the practicality of marking the dorsal tegument as a tagging method for short-term mark-recapture studies of holothurians (Holothuria whitmaei, Bell 1887) and to compare the behaviour of 'marked' to 'unmarked' control animals.
