Methods

Densities of fish on adjacent coral reefs were determined via a reef monitoring programme between 2002 and 2012. During this time, reef sites were visited between June-August in 200203, 2005, 200709, and 20112012. Underwater visual census (UVC) was performed along 50 × 5 × 5m belt transects, with all fish identified to species level. At each site and year, replicate transects were completed on three reef zones: reef flat (03 m), reef crest (38 m), and reef slope (815 m).
