CORAL REEF FISH REPRODUCTION, species, fish length and weight, and others within New Ireland Province, Papua New Guinea from 2015-03-12 to 2015-03-23 (NCEI Accession 0144344)

Natural-resource professionals performed novel research on the reproductive
biology of exploited reef fishes. Each participant produced reproductive
data for a single target species, yielding new information for four species.
These data can be used to describe: length-weight relationships (including
sex-based differences), size-at-maturity for each sex (minimum size-at-maturity,
and size-at-50%-maturity), reproductive mode (total vs batch spawning,
gonochorism vs hermaphroditism), sex ratios (overall and size-specific),
length-fecundity relationships, and reproductive periodicity (lunar, seasonal).

The fish were taken in the coral reef ecosystem for the area west and
south of Kavieng, New Ireland Province, Papua New Guinea in March 2015.
Specific site location of each catch was not given. About 90% of
the catch was near Mait Island.

自然资源领域专业人员针对商业开发利用的礁栖鱼类开展了创新性繁殖生物学研究。每名研究人员针对单一目标物种采集繁殖相关数据，最终为四个物种提供了全新的研究资料。
该数据集可用于阐释以下多项繁殖生物学特征：体长-体重关系（包含性别差异）、各性别个体的性成熟体长（涵盖最小性成熟体长与50%个体性成熟体长）、繁殖模式（单次产卵与分批产卵、雌雄异体与雌雄同体）、种群性比（整体性比与体长特异性比）、体长-繁殖力关系以及繁殖周期性（月周期与季节周期）。
样本采集工作于2015年3月在巴布亚新几内亚新爱尔兰省卡维恩（Kavieng）西部及南部海域的珊瑚礁生态系统内开展。每批次渔获的具体采样点位未被记录，其中约90%的渔获采集于梅特岛（Mait Island）周边海域。
