Coral Ecosystem Connectivity from Pulley Ridge to the Florida Keys: Bicolor Damselfish (Stegastes partitus) Population Demographic Data from 2012-07-15 to 2015-06-21 (NCEI Accession 0178639)

Published by NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information | National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Department of Commerce | Metadata Last Checked: January 29, 2026 | Last Modified: 2019-05-06T00:00:00.000+00:00
This dataset includes population demographic data associated with bicolor damselfish (Stegastes partitus) that were collected from coral reef habitats at Pulley Ridge in the Gulf of Mexico, and the Florida Keys. The information includes individual fish data: lengths, weights, estimated fecundity, measurements of oocyte area, indices of spawning, otolith-derived ages, maturity, and fish densities derived from visual transects.
