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.
This data includes reef fish counts within transects in a period of five years in two sites at intervals of four months.
Geographic Description
Two localities within the shallow patchy reefs from the municipality of Rio do Fogo, Rio Grande do Norte, 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
A total of 820 UVCs were performed at 54 localities within 7 different locations at depths ranging from 1 to 28 m depending on local depth. Data has been collected yearly since 2016. During the first year, only fish from clades Scarini and Acanthuridae were tallied. From 2017 on, the entire fish assemblage began to be surveyed.
