Description

Coastal fish species of commercial interest observed on Underwater Visual Census transects in Federated States of Micronesia during the CoFish surveys in Romanum, Piis-Panewu, Riiken and Yyin (2006). The individual counts correspond to the observations by a single diver (one side) on the 50 m transect, from the transect line up to visibility (distance sampling).

Sampling Description

Study Extent

Romanum (Chuuk), Piis-Panewu (Chuuk), Riiken (Yap), Yyin (Yap) in Federated states of Micronesia

Sampling

The status of finfish resources in selected sites was assessed by distance-sampling underwater visual census (D-UVC). The method involves recording the species name, abundance, body length and distance to the transect line of each fish or group of fish observed; the transect consists of a 50 m line, represented on the seafloor by an underwater tape.

Method steps

Multiple observations for the same species aggregated by transect and side.
