Summary

Abstract

Taxonomic and life history data for species observed in the Reef Visual Census.Includes scientific and common names for species observed, as well as the species code (first three letters of the genus, and first four letters of the specifes. It slso includes life history data for select species: LM - median length at maturity, LC - minimum length at capture, WLEN_A - linear coefficient of the allometric growth equation in g/mm, WLEN_B - exponential coefficient of the allometric growth equation
