Description

These data were published in van Woesik & Cacciapaglia (2018) and van Woesik & Cacciapaglia (2019).

Methods & Sampling

Dataset acquisition description

Field data were collected at the site list locations in Palau (June 2nd to 24th, 2017), Yap (June 25th to July 6th, 2017), the Federated States of Micronesia (FSM) (2018), and Kiritimati and Majuro (2019). The maximum length of each fish species was taken from the literature and the maximum size of each fish was estimated from our field surveys. The scar proportion and bite volume was estimated using the maximum size of the fish species. Professor Peter Mumby provided bite conversion values.

Data Processing Description

Dataset Processing Description

BCO-DMO Data Manager Processing Notes:
- This dataset was originally submitted to BCO-DMO as files;
- removed trailing and leading spaces;
- added a conventional header with dataset name, PI name, version date;
- modified parameter names to conform with BCO-DMO naming conventions;
- Added "ScientificName" which combines Genus and Species columns;
- Species names changed to accepted name after using World Register of Marine Species taxa match tool and communication with PI:
Bulbometopon muricatum to Bolbometopon muricatum
Scarus prasiognathus to Scarus prasiognathos
Scarus psitticus to Scarus psittacus
Scarus spinos to Scarus spinus
Scarus japenensis to Chlorurus japanensis
