Artificial reefs and fisheries exploitation: a review of the 'attraction versus production'debate, the influence of design and its significance for policy
H Pickering, D Whitmarsh - Fisheries research, 1997 - Elsevier
Amidst the growing volume of published research on artificial reefs, one of the key questions
concerns their potential for enhancing production over and above merely serving to attract …

Analysis of the influence of substrate variables on coral reef fish communities
BE Luckhurst, K Luckhurst - Marine Biology, 1978 - Springer
A simple field technique to obtain a gross estimate of the surface area of a quadrat on a
coral reef is described. This measure, termed the substrate rugosity index, was determined …

Habitat complexity: approaches and future directions
Habitat complexity is one of the most important factors structuring biotic assemblages, yet we
still lack basic understanding of the underlying mechanisms. Although it is one of the primary …

Are high densities of fishes at artificial reefs the result of habitat limitation or behavioral preference?
JA Bohnsack - Bulletin of Marine Science, 1989 - ingentaconnect.com
Rapid colonization, high fish densities, and high catch rates at artificial reefs have been
used as evidence for habitat-limitation and increased production of reef fishes. An …
