Modeling Reef Fish Biomass, Recovery Potential, and Management Priorities in the Western Indian Ocean.
Fish biomass is a primary driver of coral reef ecosystem services and has high sensitivity to human disturbances, particularly fishing. Estimates of fish biomass, their spatial distribution, and recovery potential are important for evaluating reef status and crucial for setting management targets. H...
