This dataset is a compilation of all available multibeam and single-beam sonar bathymetry in the Eastern Samoa Volcanic Province (ESVP) as of November 20, 2007. Bathymetric datasets were compiled and gridded using the software package MB-System. Cell resolution is 200 meters.

Recent investigations of demersal fish communities in deep (less than 50 m) rugged habitats have considerably increased our knowledge of the factors that influence the assemblage structure of fishes across mesophotic to deep-sea depths. Although habitat types influence deepwater fish distribution, whether different rugged seafloor features provide functionally equivalent habitat for fishes is poorly understood. In the northeastern Caribbean, numerous rugged seafloor features (e.g., seamounts, banks, canyons) punctuate insular margins, and thus create a remarkable setting in which to examine demersal fish communities across various seafloor features. Also in this region, several water masses are vertically layered...
