fdd-reef-fish
The dataset reports a comprehensive compilation of the shallow reef fish abundance of selected areas of the Fernando de Noronha Archipelago. It provides a detailed record of the reef fish community per selected area in the archipelago.
Data Records
The data in this sampling event resource has been published as a Darwin Core Archive (DwC-A), which is a standardized format for sharing biodiversity data as a set of one or more data tables. The core data table contains 165 records.
1 extension data tables also exist. An extension record supplies extra information about a core record. The number of records in each extension data table is illustrated below.

Sampling Methods
To assess the shallow reef fish communities, visual census were made. All observations were made by free diving in areas with depths up to six meters during the day (from 0800 to 1800 h). To account for possible tidal and temporal influences, observations were distributed evenly throughout the day (morning and afternoon) and different tidal regimes (ebb and flood). The fish community was assessed using a belt transect (30 x 2 m) based on the belt-transect visual-census method.
| Study Extent | The study was carried out in Northeastern Brazil, more especially in the Fernando de Noronha Archipelago, an isolated group of volcanic islands, one main island and 19 smaller adjacent islands, with an area of 26 km2, located 345 km off the northeast coast of Brazil (3º54’S, 32º25’W). Data collection was conducted at eight different sites within the Archipelago: Atalaia, Baía dos Golfinhos, Boldró, Buraco da Raquel, Porto de Santo Antônio, Sancho and Sueste (open) and Sueste (protected). Samples were carried out between 2006-08-28 and 2006-10-28 (YYYY-MM-DD). |

Method step description:
- The fish community was assessed using a belt transect (30 x 2 m) based on the belt-transect visual-census method (Brock 1954). All censuses were made by the same diver swimming at a constant speed, having previously stood by for five minutes to minimise disturbance caused by the diver's presence (Russ 1989). Fish species were identified following Carvalho-Filho (1999) and Humann and Deloach (2002). Sampling was conducted randomly in selected areas with predominantly (75%) consolidated substrate.
