Raw fish length data. from Assessing mesophotic coral ecosystems inside and outside a Caribbean marine protected area

Fish that were unable to be measured have been removed from the dataset. Each row represents an individual fish record. ‘Site’, ‘Depth’, and ‘Transect’ represent the survey site, depth (m) and transect number at the site. Sites were: CO – Colombia, HE – Herradura, PJ – Palancar Jardines, PT – Punta Tunich, PU – Purgatorio, SR – Santa Rosa, TT – Transito Transbordador, VB – Villa Blanca. ‘Family’, ‘Genus’, and ‘Species’ contain the fish family, genus and species. ‘Length.mm’ contains the measured fish length (mm), while ‘Range.mm’ contains the distance from the cameras (mm) that the fish was located when measured.

本数据集已剔除无法完成测量的鱼类样本。数据集每一行对应一条独立的鱼类记录。“采样点（Site）”、“水深（Depth，单位：米）”与“样带编号（Transect）”分别代表调查采样点、采样水深（单位：米）以及该采样点下的样带编号。本次调查所用采样点缩写及对应信息如下：CO – 哥伦比亚（Colombia）、HE – 赫雷杜拉（Herradura）、PJ – 帕兰卡花园（Palancar Jardines）、PT – 蓬蒂图尼奇（Punta Tunich）、PU – 普加托里奥（Purgatorio）、SR – 圣罗莎（Santa Rosa）、TT – 过境摆渡（Transito Transbordador）、VB – 比亚布兰卡（Villa Blanca）。“科（Family）”、“属（Genus）”与“种（Species）”字段分别存储鱼类的科、属与种阶元分类信息。“Length.mm”字段记录实测鱼类体长（单位：毫米），而“Range.mm”字段记录测量时该鱼类所处位置距拍摄相机的距离（单位：毫米）。
