Discriminating marine fish assemblages at broad scales can be difficult because of
heterogeneity within their habitats, variability in patterns of behaviour and abundance of fish …

Quantitative subtidal surveys of fishes, macro‐invertebrates and sessile organisms at 33
sites within the Lord Howe Island Marine Park revealed a rich fauna and flora, including 164 …

Many comparisons have been made between sanctuary (no-fishing) and fished areas,
where fishing pressure is exerted by artisanal or commercial fishers, but few have examined …

Understanding succession of fish communities associated with artificial structures is
required to assess the potential of these initiatives as part of fisheries enhancement …

Few studies assess the effects of recreational fishing in isolation from commercial fishing.
We used meta-analysis to synthesise 4444 samples from 30 years (1987–2017) of fish …

Reef fish abundances were sampled at 11 shallow reef localities extending over 1000 km of
coastline in northern New Zealand. Sampling was restricted to the 4–10-m depth stratum …

Habitat specificity plays a pivotal role in forming community patterns in coral reef fishes, yet
considerable uncertainty remains as to the extent of this selectivity, particularly among newly …

Estimates of the population and standing cron of fishes were made in six selected transect
areas around Goat Island (174° 47'50” E, 36° 16'10” S), a typical rocky reef area on the coast …

Habitat complexity is recognised as a key driver of fish diversity and abundance. However,
the effects of small (10s m) reef structures in otherwise uniform reef areas have received little …

(1) A visual scuba diving census, in which abundance and size class structure of
conspicuous fish species were determined, was used to assess the effects of depth and …
