PELD - ILOC | ReefSYN - Standardized datasets of Brazilian reef diversity in space and time - Dataset VIII: Fish assemblages from Southern Espírito Santo
PELD - ILOC | Monitoramento de Longa Duração das Comunidades Recifais das Ilhas Oceânicas Brasileiras
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 Hudson T. Pinheiro and Thiony Simon (in memoriam), with support of the IctioLab https://ictiolab.wordpress.com) and Lab Necton UFES groups.
Geographic Description
The study area covers the southern coast of the state of Espírito Santo (between the municipalities of Anchieta and Mataraízes), between latitudes 20°42’S and 21°09’S.
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 data was used in a systematic spatial planning for marine conservation, resulting in a proposal for the creation of a mosaic of marine protected areas in the region (Pinheiro et al., 2010; Teixeira et al., 2013). More recently, the data was used for the Bacharel thesis of Guilherme L. da Cruz, (Cruz, 2022) and is currently under review (Cruz et al., under revision). Cruz, G.L. 2022.

Journal of Environmental Management, 115, 241–250. doi: 10.1016/j.jenvman.2012.11.020. The data was SCUBA-collected in the summer of 2009 and consists of 251 UVCs (20 x 2 m transects) performed between 3 to 23 meters depth. Divers registered the main substrate features in all UVCs and characterized five main habitats: biogenic reefs, rocky reefs, rhodoliths with algae, rhodoliths with invertebrates, and rhodoliths with sand.
