Abstract

Experiment results testing Janzen-Connell hypothesis in brooding corals: whether juvenile corals experienced distance-dependent mortality near adult conspecifics. This dataset reports tile array metadata and fish identified from photos taken on the Coral Coast of Viti Levu, Fiji in 2013.

This dataset includes depth, time, colony size information and fish species photographed on the tile arrays of Seriatopora hystrix.
