We compiled 109 videos and 122 still-images of fishes, diving birds and shrimps. The images were cropped from videos taken underwater with animal-borne video cameras which were mounted on the backs of common carp. Our dataset includes records of 10 species, 4 genera, 2 families and 1 infraorder which includes mostly fish, several birds, and a crustacean. This dataset is published as a data paper in Ecological Research (see https://doi.org/10.1111/1440-1703.12158).
