This data is associated with the Journal of Animal Ecology publication detailing age-based life-history characteristics of the bluespine unicornfish Naso unicornis across eleven populations spanning the Indo-Pacific. It contains age, sex, body size, and reproductive information for over 2500 specimens from the eleven locations, as well as increment width summaries for over 100 specimens from four locations. This represents one of the largest standardized age-based datasets of a coral reef fish from multiple distant locations spanning biogeographic scales. Collection locations are detailed in the data and collections were made over several decades (although for individual locations data were generally collected within a one-year timeframe).
