Title: Field assay experiment data to determine if the presence of larger individuals of T. hardwicke adversely affects the survival of focal individuals in Moorea, French Polynesia from 2005-2007 (CDD_in_Reef_Fish project) (NCEI Accession 0278870)
Abstract: This dataset contains biological and survey - biological data collected during deployment Osenberg_et_al_Moorea from 2005-06-01 to 2007-12-31. These data include species. The instruments used to collect these data include Aquarium and Hand Net. These data were collected by Shane Geange of Department of Conservation - Wellington, New Zealand 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 2021-07-26.

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

This dataset is from a study examining the influence of structural refuge, competition and their interaction on the early post-settlement survival of transplanted Thalassoma hardwicke (the sixbar wrasse).

Supplementary information: Acquisition Description:
A field assay was used to identify whether the presence of larger individuals of each of three candidate species ( Gomphosus varius, Pseudocheilinus hexataenia and Thalassoma quinquevittatum ; the three species most similar to T. hardwicke in terms of habitat use; see Results) negatively effected the survival of transplanted T. hardwicke . 32 reefs within 80 m of the reef crest were selected. Reefs consisted of a live Porites base, surmounted by 1-2 Pocillopora verrucosa colonies and small patches (
