taxonomic genus of organism
Genus of fish observed; Some fish were identified only to family. In such cases the family name was entered in the genus column with the suffix _fam. So Carangidae_fam indicates the fish was in the family Carangidae but the genus could not be identified from the photo. Some fish could only be identified as one of two or more genera. In these cases the following codes were used: Acan_Cten = either Acanthurus or Ctenochaetus; Calo_Scar = either Calotomus or Scarus; Chlor_Scar = either Chlorurus or Scarus
