©2020 Biological and Chemical Oceanography Data Management Office.This dataset contains meristic and morphometric data for specimens collected in the Indo-Pacific and Pacific Ocean and analyzed in Hoban & Williams 2020.
Hoban & Williams (2020) is a phylogeographic survey and taxonomic species description. Specimens were collected throughout the Central Pacific using rotenone and hand nets and/or pole spears. Fin clips were taken for genetic analysis and whole specimens were retained for taxonomic analysis. Specimens were sequenced at the mitochondrial COI marker for phylogeographic and phylogenetic analyses. Taxonomic analysis was by morphometric and meristic characters per Williams (1986).
Instruments: Specimens were collected on SCUBA using pole spears and/or hand nets and rotenone. Counts and measurements were taken using a dissecting microscope and dial calipers to the nearest 0.1mm.
