"The report describes the results of surveys of biodiversity and status of fish communities of Pohnpei, Ahnd and Pakin Atolls in August and September 2005. The primary goal of the fish survey was to provide a comprehensive inventory of reef fishes inhabiting Pohnpei and nearby Ant and Pakin atolls. This segment of the fauna includes fishes living on or near coral reefs down to the limit of safe sport diving or approximately 55 m depth. It therefore excludes most deepwater and offshore pelagic species such as flying fishes, tunas, and billfishes"--Executive summary.
