An evaluation and comparison of techniques for estimating fish species composition, abundance and size structure in mangrove and reef habitats
Underwater visual fish surveys have become the most commonly used method for estimating fish abundance and diversity in coral reef environments, and more recently in adjacent environments such as mangroves. Limitations associated with visual surveys (e.g....
Geomorphic characterization of reef fish aggregation sites in the Upper Florida Keys
"The objective of this study was to determine if multiple reef fish aggregation sites in the upper Florida Keys share characteristic geomorphic features. A commercial single-beam acoustic seabed classification system was used to map the seabed in the vici...
