Abstract
Reef fish community structure and species diversity were examined by estimating reef fish densities (per 1,000m3) using VideoRay Pro 4 remotely operated vehicle (ROV) video sampling. Data were collected at different reef sites in the northern Gulf of Mexico from August 30 - September 4, 2015; July 28 - August 9, 2016; and October 26 - November 2, 2017.
Purpose
To examine reef fish community structure and species diversity following the Deepwater Horizon oil spill.
