| Title: | Persistence of E. lori settlers on sponge habitat in South Water Caye, Belize during 2015 (NCEI Accession 0299503) |
| Abstract: | This dataset contains biological and survey - biological data collected from 2015-07-28 to 2015-08-23. These data include depth and species. These data were collected by Dr John Majoris and Dr Peter Buston of Boston University as part of the "Collaborative Research: The Role of Larval Orientation Behavior in Determining Population Connectivity (Elacatinus Dispersal II)" project. The Biological and Chemical Oceanography Data Management Office (BCO-DMO) submitted these data to NCEI on 2019-03-19. The following is the text of the dataset description provided by BCO-DMO: Persistence of Elacatinus lori settlers on sponge habitat. Dataset Description: Persistence of E. lori settlers seeded onto 120 tagged tubes sponges on the fore reef off South Water Caye. These data were included in Figure 6 and Table 3 of: Majoris, JE; D'Aloia CC, Francis RK, Buston PM (Accepted) Differential persistence favors habitat preferences that determine the distribution of a reef fish.

| Supplementary information: | Acquisition Description: Settlers were seeded onto sponges along the transect to test the hypothesis that the distribution of E. lori settlers is the result of variation in their persistence (i.e., defined here as the time a settler spent on a sponge as a result of mortality and/or movement) across settlement habitats. For each of the 120 tagged sponges, divers recorded the presence or absence of the seeded settler every other day for two weeks (n = 7 observations/settler). New settlers that arrived from the water column and individuals from elsewhere that moved to tagged sponges were identified using differences in size and pigmentation (Figure 3), removed from the sponge, and measured to confirm size (SL). Following completion of the first two-week trial, a second trial was carried out using the same sponges, but with a new group of 120 E. lori settlers. |
