National Coral Reef Monitoring Program: Towed-diver surveys of large-bodied fishes of the Pacific Remote Island Areas

Published by NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information | National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Department of Commerce | Metadata Last Checked: January 27, 2026 | Last Modified: 2018-03-07T00:00:00.000+00:00
The visual estimate data provided in this collection were gathered during towed-diver surveys in which the number, size, and species of all large-bodied fishes observed within a visually estimated 5-m transect on either side of the fish diver and 10 m in front were recorded. These data were collected around the Pacific Remote Island Areas as part of NOAA's ongoing National Coral Reef Monitoring Program (NCRMP), Pacific Islands Fisheries Science Center (PIFSC), Coral Reef Ecosystem Program (CREP) led missions. These data can be accessed online via the NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI) Ocean Archive.
