Fish bite rates of individual 'focal' herbivorous fishes within and outside of canopies at Lameshur Bay, St John, USVI, February and March 2016.

These data were used to test hypothesis 2 in Tsounis et al. Coral Reefs (2020): Figure 4: the recruitment niche in mediating post-settlement success.

These data are a continuation of BCO-DMO project 562086 (http://www.bco-dmo.org/project/562086) and BCO-DMO project 752508 (https://www.bco-dmo.org/project/752508).
