Description

This dataset contains a subset of data collected by the Partnership for Interdisciplinary Study of Coastal Oceans (PISCO) that was used to demonstrate the model code for publication. Each row corresponds to one observation of a fish or group of conspecific fish.

Methods & Sampling

Dataset acquisition description

Fish survey data were collected by underwater visual survey on transects in kelp forests surrounding Pt. Lobos California from 1999-2007. Full description of details is provided in Appendix S1 of White et al. (2016).

BCO-DMO Data Processing Notes:

-Data file was initially missing header row. The appropriate column names were included in the final data display.
-Reformatted column names to comply with BCO-DMO standards
-Replaced blank cells with nd
