The Ocean Archive System searches our original datasets as they were submitted to us, not individual points or profiles. If you want to search and retrieve ocean profiles in a common format, or objectively analyzed fields, your better option may be to use one of our project applications. See: Access Data

| Title: | Spatial covariance on the background fish community at the start of experimental runs in Moorea, French Polynesia from 2003-2015 (NCEI Accession 0278399) |
| Abstract: | This dataset contains biological and survey - biological data collected during deployment Osenberg_et_al_Moorea in the South Pacific Ocean from 2003-01-01 to 2015-12-31. These data include abundance. These data were collected by Shane Geange of Department of Conservation - Wellington, New Zealand, Adrian Stier of University of California-Santa Barbara, and Jeffrey Shima 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 2021-06-22. The following is the text of the dataset description provided by BCO-DMO: This dataset is from a manipulative experiment the relative competitive abilities of juveniles of three closely related species of reef fish (bird wrasse, Gomphosus varius; fivestripe wrasse, T. quinquevittatum; and the sixbar wrasse, Thalassoma hardwicke Dataset Description: This dataset is from a manipulative experiment the relative competitive abilities of juveniles of three closely related species of reef fish (bird wrasse, Gomphosus varius; fivestripe wrasse, T. quinquevittatum; and the sixbar wrasse, Thalassoma hardwicke).

| Supplementary information: | Acquisition Description: To determine the in situ spatial covariation of superior and inferior competitors, we surveyed the density of the 3 species at 3 locations. Each location consisted of 2 sites that were arrayed perpendicular to the reef crest: a ‘crest’ site (~95 m shoreward of the reef crest) and a ‘lagoon’ site (~190 m shoreward of the reef crest). At each site, we haphazardly selected 16 patch reefs of similar surface area (mean ± SD): 8.40 ± 4.91 m2, and 8.23 ± 4.06 m2, for the crest and lagoon locations, respectively. On each reef and the surrounding 1 m halo, we counted juveniles of the 3 focal species, which we converted to densities. Juveniles were defined as individuals with SL |
