title: Data from: Deciphering complex coral reef soundscapes with spatial audio and 360° video

description: Coral reef soundscapes hold a wealth of biodiversity information. While
 they are easy to record, they are difficult to decipher because we know
 little about which sounds are made by which species. With identified fish
 sounds, acoustic monitoring can directly inform biodiversity metrics,
 detect indicator or invasive species, identify behavioral events, and
 estimate abundance at temporal and spatial scales that are impossible with
 methods like eDNA or visual surveys. The missing link, knowing which
 sounds come from which species, is exceedingly difficult to establish with
 fish, especially on a species-rich coral reef. Using a novel
 method to visualize in situ underwater sound, we have developed a
 technique that combines visualizations of spatial audio with concentric
 360° video recordings, a combination not previously accomplished
 underwater. Using this technique, we have identified and assigned sounds
 to 46 species. This is the most extensive collection of natural sounds of
 fishes ever published. This data repository contains all of the recordings
 referenced in our manuscript. These are exported as data specimens. Each
 data specimen contains video from the camera with an overlay of the sound
 field visualization and a spectrogram visualization of the sound. Each
 video also contains a synchronous audio channel. In total, there are 156
 media specimens from 46 species.

 [10.5061/dryad.mcvdnckcp](10.5061/dryad.mcvdnckcp) ## Description of the
 data and file structure Using a novel method to visualize *in situ*
 underwater sound, we have developed a technique that combines
 visualizations of spatial audio with concentric 360° video recordings, a
 combination not previously accomplished underwater. With this system, we
 have identified and assigned the most extensive collection of natural
 sounds of fishes. ### Regarding the video files  The videos include
