Relating Fish Populations to Scleractinian Reef Structure

Description

These files contain field data from 3 coral reef surveys, 2 in Puerto Rico and one in Flower Garden Banks. Calculations are made to explore correlations between stony coral physical (size and shape) and biological (diversity and condition) with fish density, biomass and diversity. This dataset is associated with the following publication: Fisher, W. Relating fish populations to coral colony size and complexity. ECOLOGICAL INDICATORS. Elsevier Science Ltd, New York, NY, USA, 148: 110117, (2023).
