Feeding observations of intertidal black abalone at monitored sites around San Nicolas Island, California and local distribution of Macrocystis pyrifera based on surface canopy maps
The data set includes feeding observations of black abalone (Haliotis cracherodii) at long-term intertidal monitoring sites around San Nicolas Island, California from 1982 - 2019. This includes site locations, sites, date of observation, observed food items, and abalone shell length when available. Seasonal (spring and fall) GIS maps of giant kelp (Macrocystis pyrifera) canopy distributions from the waters surrounding San Nicolas Island in 1981-1992 are also provided.
These data support the following publication:
Vanblaricom, G.R. and Kenner, M.C., 2020. Dietary Patterns in Black Abalone Haliotis cracherodii Leach, 1814 as Indicated by Observation of Drift Algal and Seagrass Capture at San Nicolas Island, California, USA, 1982 to 2019. Journal of Shellfish Research, 39(1), pp.113-124.
