Data: Extreme marine heatwave linked to mass fish kill in the Red Sea

This data includes the survey data from visual beach transects across multiple beaches impacted and unimpacted by a mass fish mortality event. This event occurred in the Ar Rayis region south of Yanbu in Saudi Arabia in late August 2023. Local officials reported large numbers of dead fishes and cuttlefishes washing ashore, which prompted a response to survey these areas. This data includes counts of cuttle bones and counts of dead fishes that had washed ashore at 8 sites within the ~60km of impacted area and 5 unimpacted sites outside of the impacted area.

本数据集涵盖针对受与未受大规模鱼类死亡事件影响的多处海滩开展的视觉海滩样带（visual beach transect）调查所得数据。该大规模鱼类死亡事件发生于2023年8月底，地处沙特阿拉伯延布（Yanbu）市南部的阿尔雷伊斯（Ar Rayis）区域。当地官员报告称有大量死鱼与乌贼被冲至岸边，这一情况促使相关部门启动针对该区域的调查工作。本数据集包含对受影响区域约60公里范围内的8个采样点，以及该区域外5个未受影响的采样点处被冲上岸的乌贼骨与死鱼的数量统计结果。
