| Title: |
Reproductive information for coral reef fish collected from markets and local vendors on Tutuila, American Samoa from 2016-12-20 to 2017-11-16 (NCEI Accession 0176110) |
| Abstract: |
This dataset contains data from laboratory analysis of coral reef fish collected near Tutuila, American Samoa from 2016-12-20 to 2017-11-16. Natural-resource professionals from American Samoa's Department of Marine and Wildlife Resources performed novel research on the reproductive biology of exploited reef fishes. Participants worked as a group to produce new information for six species: Acanthurus guttatus, Acanthurus lineatus, Acanthurus nigricans, Ctenochatus striatus, Chlorurus japanensis and Scarus oviceps. These data can be used to describe: length-weight relationships (including sex-based differences), size-at-maturity for each sex (minimum size-at-maturity, and size-at-50%-maturity), reproductive mode (total vs batch spawning, gonochorism vs hermaphroditism), sex ratios (overall, operational, and size-specific), length-fecundity relationships, and reproductive periodicity (lunar, seasonal). |
