In situ behavioural observation of juvenile Pomacentrus amboinensis in response to small motor boat noise

Data from a field experiment conducted by Lucy Holmes during her BSc Honours thesis on the effect of boat noise (30hp 2-stroke engine) on juvenile Pomacentrus amboinensis. Data from 3 min SCUBA behavioural observations. Variables in the Excel dataset are: Fish ID Time since treatment start, Treatment, Number of bites, Total distance moved, Max distance ventured, Boldness, Relative distance ventured.

The full methodology is available in the publication shown in the Related Publications link below.
