©2020 Biological and Chemical Oceanography Data Management Office.Depth ranges of occurrence for major functional groups of invertebrates, fish, and algae on global shallow and mesophotic reefs. Studies were found in published literature from 1973 to 2017.
All data are the result of multiple transects at different depths from shallow to mesophotic (<30 m-120 m) where 1 m^2 quadrants were placed and all major taxa identified.
These data are published as Appendix S1 in Lesser et al (2019).
