Counts of 325 reef fish species in three reef habitats at 13 sites around Moorea, French Polynesia: the data of Granot, Dubiner & Belmaker (Table S2). Fish were counted on belt transects by CRIOBE between 2004 and 2018; there is one count per species, site and habitat. Only sites where a species was recorded are included for that species; all three habitats were surveyed at every site, and zeros are explicit.
Format
A tibble with one row per species x site x habitat:
- species
Species name.
- site
Site (13 sites).
- habitat
"barrier_reef","fringing_reef"or"outer_slope".- abundance
Number of individuals counted.
