These detection data were subset from a real acoustic telemetry dataset of Arctic Char near Kugluktuk, Nunavut. The data were from a project that was a collaboration between the Kugluktuk Hunters and Trappers Organization, the University of Waterloo, and Fisheries and Oceans Canada. The data are valuable to the community of Kugluktuk, and are also sensitive due to their pertinence to the local fishery for Arctic Char. For this reason, the detections have been given generic station names and fish IDs so locations and sample information is anonymous. The year has also been changed, but otherwise, the detections are real, and therefore have all the challenges and intricacies of biological data.
