| coexistence of low coral cover and high fish biomass at farquhar atoll, seychelles. | we report a reef ecosystem where corals may have lost their role as major reef engineering species but fish biomass and assemblage structure is comparable to unfished reefs elsewhere around the world. this scenario is based on an extensive assessment of the coral reefs of farquhar atoll, the most southern of the seychelles islands. coral cover and overall benthic community condition at farquhar was poor, likely due to a combination of limited habitat, localized upwelling, past coral bleaching, a ... | 2014 | 24489903 |
