Abstract

Background fish community at the start of each experimental run for an experiment in Moorea, French Polynesia from May to June 2008. This dataset is from a manipulative experiment the relative competitive abilities of juveniles of three closely related species of reef fish (bird wrasse, Gomphosus varius; fivestripe wrasse, T. quinquevittatum; and the sixbar wrasse, Thalassoma hardwicke.

This dataset is from a manipulative experiment the relative competitive abilities of juveniles of three closely related species of reef fish (bird wrasse, Gomphosus varius; fivestripe wrasse, Thalassoma. quinquevittatum; and the sixbar wrasse, Thalassoma hardwicke). This research was conducted in 2008 at the Gump Biological Research Station, Moorea, French Polynesia.

Data within this file contain information on the background fish community at the start of each experimental run. For additional experimental data, please see the Related Datasets section.
