Summary statistics for average fish weight (grams per fish), fish density (fish per 100 m2) and fish biomass (grams per 100 m2) of eight frequently occurring parrotfish species across reef-surveys with Unprotected/unknown protection status (n = 274).

n- number of reef-surveys where the species was present; sd-standard deviation. These data were used in species-level correlation analyses with human population size and in the redundancy analysis (RDA) linking parrotfish community composition to human population size. Species are ordered by decreasing order of occurrence across surveys. Note that no species occurred across all the 274 fish surveys.
