    • Parrotfish surveys and paired coral and parrotfish coral predation surveys conducted in the Caribbean Sea and Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary from 2013-07-02 to 2019-09-11 (NCEI Accession 0293333)

    Metadata Updated: February 1, 2025

    Data associated with the publication 'Ecological drivers of parrotfish coral predation vary across spatial scales', comparing parrotfish coral predation intensity as it relates to parrotfish density/biomass, coral cover, and other ecological variables from the scale of individual coral colonies to reefs spanning four regions of the Greater Caribbean. This dataset includes several datasets:

    1) regional_coral_scar_data.csv: Surveys of coral colonies (with and without parrotfish predation scars) across all regions.

    2) processed_coral_scar_data_colony_level.csv: Processed data from the file above filtered to only include coral taxa commonly predated by parrotfishes (determined as coral taxa for which at least 3 colonies across the entire dataset had 3 recent parrotfish predation scars). This includes the calculated coral colony surface area and the estimated total/sum recent scar area per coral colony.

    3) regional_fish_data.csv: Parrotfish abundance and size for individuals greater than or equal to 15 cm fork length. This data includes estimated fish weight and related length-weight conversion values used to calculate these values.

    4) site_coordinates.csv: Metadata of the latitude and longitude of all study sites.
