Linkages between reef fish demographics and benthic habitat characteristics in Tutuila, American Samoa and Main Hawaiian Islands

Benthic habitats play vital roles in the distribution and abundances of marine resources. Understanding how fish populations respond to variability of benthic habitat characteristics is essential for effective coral reef management and monitoring. A pilot study was conducted by NOAA Pacific Islands Fisheries Science Center (PIFSC) Coral Reef Ecosystem Program (CREP) to examine the relationships...

海底栖息地对于海洋资源的分布与丰度起着至关重要的作用。探究鱼类种群如何对海底栖息地特征的变动作出响应，对于有效管理和监测珊瑚礁至关重要。美国国家海洋和大气管理局太平洋岛屿渔业科学中心（NOAA Pacific Islands Fisheries Science Center，简称PIFSC）珊瑚礁生态系统项目（Coral Reef Ecosystem Program，简称CREP）开展了一项试点研究，旨在考察其间的相互关系...
