Fish stock assessment in coral reefs: notes on the state of the art.
Coral reefs may produce as much as 10% of the annual world fish catch. Yet, very little investigation has been done on the biology of coral reef fishes, so that we know little about their growth rates and mortalities, vital parameters in the understanding ...
