Squidpop predation data collected at various temperatures from multiple sites in San Cristobal, Galapagos from 2021-2022 (Galapagos 2021 project)
Abstract: 
These data set contain results from trials used to measured predation rates by fish across time and sites showing a temperature gradient in San Cristobal, Galapagos. We used the squidpop protocol, an assay based in setting 25 stakes with squid bait for one hour in the reefs. Afterward we count how many bait were eaten to have a measure of predation rate. We did this on 15 sites. In 6 of this sites we conducted the assay every two months for 15 months. Measuring the relationship between temperature and predation on reefs will allow us to understand better the role of temperature on moderating predation on marine communities.
