Three-dimensional trajectories of cultivated Pacific bluefin tuna Thunnus orientalis in an aquaculture net cage

Swimming trajectories of aquatic animals that are estimated using the dead-reckoning technique below the sea surface tend to have very large associated observational errors. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to develop a technique for removing accumulated errors from such trajectories for...
