Title: Description of the background community of reefs used in an experiment at Moorea, French Polynesia from February-August 2007 (CDD_in_Reef_Fish project) (NCEI Accession 0278024)
Abstract: This dataset contains biological and survey - biological data collected during deployment Osenberg_et_al_Moorea from 2007-02-01 to 2007-08-31. These data include abundance and species. The instruments used to collect these data include Aquarium. These data were collected by Adrian Stier of University of California-Santa Barbara and Shane Geange of Victoria University of Wellington as part of the "Cryptic density dependence: the effects of spatial, ontogenetic, and individual variation in reef fish (CDD_in_Reef_Fish)" project. The Biological and Chemical Oceanography Data Management Office (BCO-DMO) submitted these data to NCEI on 2021-06-29.

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

This dataset is from a manipulative experiment investigating intracohort priority effects between two competing reef fishes (Thalassoma hardwicke and T. quinquevittatum).
