This dataset contains biological and survey - biological data collected in the North Atlantic Ocean from 2022-07-07 to 2022-12-25. These data include animal group (category). These data were collected by Jacob Allgeier of University of Michigan as part of the "Using novel ecosystem-scale experiments to quantify drivers of reef productivity in a heavily impacted coastal ecosystem (Reef Production Drivers)" project. The Biological and Chemical Oceanography Data Management Office (BCO-DMO) submitted these data to NCEI on 2024-04-26.

The following is the text of the dataset description provided by BCO-DMO:

Dataset Description:
See "Related Datasets" section for access to data and metadata from other datasets from the same surveys.
Methods and Sampling:
Fish surveys were conducted using visual counts of all fish on a given artificial reef. Fish size was visually estimated to the nearest cm using total length (TL). All counts were exhaustive and lasted from 1-10 minutes depending on the number of fish. We recorded visual observation of floy tags – this was done opportunistically and when possible the species and color of tag were recorded.

Survey overview:

Fish surveys ~3 min on free dive on each reef at each cluster; 12-15min for each cluster survey.
