Invertebrate data from fish and seagrass surveys on clusters of artificial reefs at the Abaco Islands, Bahamas in 2021 and 2022
Abstract: 
Invertebrate data from fish and seagrass surveys on clusters of artificial reefs at the Abaco Islands, Bahamas in May of 2022. Data are presented for site PN, which was constructed in May 2021 at the Bight of Old Robinson, Great Abaco. At the site three clusters of nine reefs were constructed. Each cluster was separated by at least 150 m and were constructed at ~3 m depth.

A supplemental table containing organism identifications (common and latin names). These were matched at the World Register of Marine Species (WoRMS) and the taxon status (accepted, unaccepted) and taxon identifiers were added. Some are not the currently accepted synonyms, an additional column containing the currently accepted synonyms (as of 2024-02-26) was added.

Column information (name, definition):

type, organism type (fish or invert)
common_name, common name as used in the main data table for the dataset.
species_or_lowest_identifiable_taxon, Scientific name or lowest identifiable taxon for the common_name category.
AphiaID, taxon identifier (AphiaID, see WoRMS) for the "species_or_lowest_identifiable_taxon"
LSID, Lifescience Identifier (LSID) for the "species_or_lowest_identifiable_taxon"

Artificial reef cluster site list for fish and invertebrate surveys conducted in 2022. Two different sites: reefs with name PN# were constructed in May 2021, and CM# were constructed in May 2022. At each site three clusters of nine reefs were constructed. Each cluster was separated by at least 150 m and were constructed at ~3 m depth.

Column name, description, units:
reef_name, Reef cluster identifier
lat_dd, site latitude, decimal degrees
lon_dd, site longitude, decimal degrees
Construction_Month, Month of reef construction (format: %b, .e.g. "May")
Construction_Year, Year of reef construction (format: %Y, e.g. "2021")
Site_Description, Description of the site location and island.
