The Ocean Archive System searches our original datasets as they were submitted to us, not individual points or profiles. If you want to search and retrieve ocean profiles in a common format, or objectively analyzed fields, your better option may be to use one of our project applications. See: Access Data

Title: Patterns of parrotfish predation on Orbicella annularis and coral tissue regeneration from bite scars on the Caribbean islands of St. Croix and Bonaire from 2018-07-02 to 2019-08-24 (NCEI Accession 0213589)
Abstract: This file includes the four datasets used in the research article 'Impacts of parrotfish predation on a major reef-building coral: quantifying healing rates and thresholds of coral recovery' published in the journal Coral Reefs (DOI 10.1007/s00338-020-01977-9):

1) OANN_scar_healing_after_up_to_28_days.csv, the observed tissue regeneration of parrotfish predation scars on Orbicella annularis colonies on St. Croix and Bonaire after up to 28 days of monitoring (a duration that previous experimental work by Meesters and colleagues suggests encompasses the majority of O. annularis tissue regeneration).

2) OANN_scar_healing_after_up_to_64_days.csv, the observed tissue regeneration of parrotfish predation scars on Orbicella annularis colonies on Bonaire after up to 64 days of monitoring (a duration that previous experimental work by Meesters and colleagues suggests encompasses the total timespan of O. annularis tissue regeneration).

3)OANN_scar_healing_over_time.csv, observations of tissue regeneration of parrotfish predation scars on Orbicella annularis colonies on St. Croix and Bonaire over time.

4) OANN_scar_standing_stock.csv, the distribution of haphazardly surveyed parrotfish predation scars on St. Croix and Bonaire at a point in time observed within 30m x 1m belt transects conducted across a range of depths up to 18m. This dataset includes the total abundance of scars per colony, the number of fresh bite scars, and the estimated minimum, median, and maximum observed scar per colony and colony size measurements for all Orbicella annularis colonies with parrotfish predation scars present within transects.

In addition, we also provided a file entitled 'A1_data_overview' that describes the variables within each dataset as a csv file.
