▪ Abstract The majority of marine populations are demographically open; their replenishment
is largely or exclusively dependent on a supply of juveniles from the plankton. In spite of …

Present models for the structure and dynamics of benthic assemblages The three most
important processes incorporated into these models are competition, predation and physical …

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 …

Fisheries for demersal reef fishes in tropical and warm-temperate regions are typically
multispecific and the fish are harvested using a wide variety of methods (Munro and …

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 …

Information on the biology, fishery resources, exploitation patterns, management, and
conservation status of two species of grouper—the Nassau grouper, Epinephelus striatus …

Three models of the ecological processes contributing to the replenishment of populations of
coral reef fishes are outlined. The evidence supporting each is reviewed. We conclude that …

Fifty standard concrete modules were deployed on a sand bottom to make 16 replicated
artificial reefs of 1 to 8 modules· reef 1. Fish assemblages were monitored for species …

ABSTRACT ere we introduce the recent literature dealing with the assessment,
interpretation, and management of anthropogenic impacts on shallow tropical marine …

The life cycles of fishes are complex and varied, and knowledge of the early life stages is
important for understanding the biology, ecology, and evolution of fishes. In Early Life …
