Rocky Subtidal Fish and Invertebrate Community Surveys from the Central Coast of BC
Listed in GBIF
The rocky subtidal fish and invertebrate dataset is a component of Hakai Institute’s Nearshore research and monitoring program.
Description
This dataset characterizes spatial and temporal trends in fish and invertebrates communities at various rocky bottom subtidal sites near Calvert Island on the Central Coast of British Columbia (2017-current). Data coverage varies by year and habitat type.
Habitats include unvegetated rocky reefs and kelp forests (Macrocystis pyrifera and Nereocystis luetkeana) that were surveyed by SCUBA along 30 m transects. The total length and abundance of all fish and large invertebrates excluding urchins were measured. Seastar wasting disease was also recorded on surveys.
