This dataset represents geocoded spawning regions for 1,045 marine fish species described in the Fishbase (https://www.fishbase.se/) and Science and Conservation of Fish Aggregations (SCRFA, https://www.scrfa.org/database/) datasets. These global databases have painstakingly aggregated the fieldwork of countless biologists and ecologists to summarize our knowledge of fish species. We further constrained geographic locations using AquaMaps (https://www.aquamaps.org) to produce 2,931 polygons or groups of polygons, which we call ``spawning regions''. Reproduction code for the dataset is available at https://github.com/openmodels/spawning-dataset.
