Data to support "Stochastic density effects on adult fish survival and implications for population fluctuations"

Data on stage-specific abundance of black surfperch (Embiotoca jacksoni), the amount of foraging habitat and the availability of surfperch prey (crustaceans) were collected at fixed sites on the north shore of Santa Cruz Island, California annually (autumn) from 1993-2009. Data are grouped into four regions. Counts of fish distinguished among young-of-year, juveniles (1 year old) and adults (>= 2 years old). These data have been presented in Okamoto, D. K., R. J. Schmitt and S. J. Holbrook. 2016. Sochastic density effects on adult fish survival and implications for population fluctuations. Ecology Letters, 19:153-162. doi: 10.1111/ele.12547.
