Title: Morphological measurements and meristics for Etelis samples collected in the Indo-Pacific Ocean between 1997 and 2012 (NCEI Accession 0291566)
Abstract: This dataset contains biological and survey - biological data collected from 1997-01-01 to 2012-01-01. These data include species. These data were collected by Brian Bowen and Kimberly R. Andrews of University of Hawaii as part of the "Origins of Hawaiian Reef Fishes (Hawaiian Fish Origins)" project and "Indo-Pac Research Coordination Network (Indo-Pac RCN)" program. The Biological and Chemical Oceanography Data Management Office (BCO-DMO) submitted these data to NCEI on 2022-05-13.

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

Acquisition Description:
The holotype was purchased at Yanbu fish market after being collected by hook and line in a nearby area and was deposited at the National Museum of Marine Biology & Aquarium (NMMB-P). Fifteen paratypes were obtained from Western Australia and deposited at the fish collection of California Academy of Sciences, San Francisco (CAS). These paratypes were part of a previous study using morphological and genetic data which revealed that two morphologically similar species were being identified as E. carbunculus , leading the authors to propose an undescribed species of Etelis (Andrews et al. 2016). That study generated DNA sequence data from cytochrome b (cyt b ) for the paratypes, and the sequences have been deposited in GenBank (Accession numbers MW151867- MW151881). [See Related Dataset "Etelis genetics" https://www.bco-dmo.org/dataset/873427 for genetic accession identifiers and methodology. The column "Field_ID" can be used to relate the Etelis genetics and Etelis morphology datasets.]

Methods for taking morphological measurements and meristics generally followed Hubbs & Lagler (1958), with some exceptions. The first anal spine was not measured because it was very short for this species. Upper and lower gillrakers were counted separately, as were rudiments. Length of caudal fin is measured from base of the fin to tip of upper lob. Length of caudal fin concavity is the length of upper lobe minus the length of middle of caudal fin base to middle of the concavity.

DNA sequences from cyt b and cytochrome oxidase I (COI) were obtained from the E. boweni holotype and four E. radiosus specimens from the Yanbu fish market using previously described protocols (Andrews et al. 2016). The sequences were aligned with sequences used in phylogenetic analyses in Andrews et al. 2016, including cyt b and COI sequences from six E. boweni and six E. carbunculus specimens collected across the Indo-Pacific, along with sequences from all other recognized Etelis species (six E. coruscans specimens, seven E. radiosus specimens, five E. oculatus specimens), and one specimen from each of two outgroups ( Pristipomoides filamentosus and Aphareus rutilans ). All sequences were then trimmed to a common length for each locus, for a total of 375 bp for cyt b and 599 bp for COI.
