| Title: | Weekly survey of fish sold by the roadside in Moorea, French Polynesia in 2014 and 2015 (Coral reef fishery project) (NCEI Accession 0277331) |
| Abstract: | This dataset contains biological and survey - biological data collected at Moorea during deployment Lauer_2014 from 2014-06-15 to 2015-11-22. These data include genus and species. These data were collected by Dr Matthew Lauer of San Diego State University and Dr Andrew Rassweiler and Dr Sally Holbrook of University of California-Santa Barbara as part of the "Adaptive Capacity, Resilience, and Coral Reef State Shifts in Social-ecological Systems (Coral reef fishery)" project and "Coastal SEES (Science, Engineering and Education for Sustainability NSF-Wide Investment) (Coastal SEES)" program. The Biological and Chemical Oceanography Data Management Office (BCO-DMO) submitted these data to NCEI on 2023-01-23. The following is the text of the dataset description provided by BCO-DMO: Weekly survey of fish sold by the roadside in Moorea, French Polynesia, 2014-2015 Dataset Description: This dataset includes the results of a survey on fish sold by the roadside in Moorea, French Polynesia, administered in 2014-2015 at Papetoi, Haapiti, and Afareaitu. |

| Supplementary information: | Acquisition Description: Each Sunday morning from June 2014 through November 2015, an observer surveyed fish being sold along the roadside on the island of Moorea. On each survey date, the observer drove along the ring road which circles the islands along the shoreline, stopping to interview anyone selling fish by the road. With the permission of the seller, the observer photographed the fish for sale, which were typically presented on strings hanging from large racks. The observer also asked a series of questions to the seller about how the fish were caught. Participation in this survey was voluntary, and so the catch reported here does not represent a complete sample of fish being sold by the roadside. A single observer performed all surveys, so a few Sundays in this period were not sampled because of logistical constraints Fish in each photograph were identified to the highest taxonomic resolution possible, often to species but usually at least genus. The size of each fish was estimated by drawing a line from nose to tail and then comparing the length of that line to the length of a 0.5 m sizing bar that was included in each photograph. Image analyses were performed in the computer program “imageJ” (Rasband, NIH) and species identities and sizes have been merged together with the survey responses of the fish sellers in the data set provided. |
