Title
Evidence of artisanal fishing impacts and depth refuge in assemblages of reef fish of a Fijian Island
Author(s)
Jordan Goet
Abstract
The effects of protection and depth on assemblages of reef fish in the Kubulua district off Vanua Levu Island, Fiji were studied using stereo Baited Remote Underwater Video systems. There were no differences in the species richness, abundance or biomass of targeted and non-targeted species inside and outside of the Namuri reserve. This study suggests that artisanal fishing may impact on the structure of assemblages of fishes, but differences may only be detected in large reserves that have been established for a long period of time.
