Title: Parrotfish bite rates, volume of substrate removed, and estimates of erosional scars for each species observed in surveys at Palau, Yap, and the Federated States of Micronesia in 2017 and 2018 (NCEI Accession 0277324)
Abstract: This dataset contains biological and survey - biological data collected at shoreside Micronesia, shoreside Palau, and shoreside Yap during deployments vanWoesik_FSM_2018, vanWoesik_Palau_2017, and vanWoesik_Yap_2017 from 2017-06-02 to 2018-06-24. These data include genus and species. These data were collected by Robert van Woesik of Florida Institute of Technology as part of the "Adjustment of western Pacific Ocean coral reefs to sea-level rise and ocean warming (Coral Reef Adjustment)" project. The Biological and Chemical Oceanography Data Management Office (BCO-DMO) submitted these data to NCEI on 2023-01-23.

Supplementary information: Acquisition Description:
Field data were collected at the site list locations in Palau (June 2nd to 24th, 2017), Yap (June 25th to July 6th, 2017), and the Federated States of Micronesia (FSM) (2018). The maximum length of each fish species was taken from the literature and the maximum size of each fish was estimated from our field surveys. The scar proportion and bite volume was estimated using the maximum size of the fish species. Professor Peter Mumby provided bite conversion values.
