Description
This dataset is part of a broader compilation named 'Standardized datasets of Brazilian reef diversity in space and time' created from a research network of reef scientists within several projects and collaborations and finally gathered and published by the ReefSYN group. The data were collected by Thiony Simon (in memoriam) and Hudson T. Pinheiro for the former’s MSc thesis https://ictiolab.wordpress.com), and the results of the study were published in Simon et al. (2011, 2013b).
Geographic Description
The data was collected at four locations offshore Guarapari, Espírito Santo, central coast of Brazil.
Data quality
The name of all taxa was checked against the WoRMS database (World Register of Marine Species (WoRMS, 2022)), using the R package “worrms” (Chamberlain 2020). Thus, valid scientific names were called “scientificNameAccepted” following the DCS standard. The last checking was done on 23 October 2023, using the version 0.4.2 of ‘worrms’ R package.
Methods
The 324 UVCs were conducted on 20 x 2 m belt transects as described earlier (see Morais et al. 2017 for more details). Morais, R.A., Ferreira, C.E.L. & Floeter, S.R. 2017. Spatial patterns of fish standing biomass across Brazilian reefs, Southwestern Atlantic. Journal of Fish Biology, 91: 1642–1667. Fishes were tallied within size classes (0-5 cm, 5-10, 10-20 and so on) to estimate biomass through length-weight relationships.
