Effects of fishing on fish assemblages in a coral reef ecosystem : from functional response to potential indicators

Many Pacific countries face socio-economic changes, resulting in an increase in fishing pressure on reef fish resources. In coral reef environments, examining the ecological effects of fishing on fish assemblages is generally hampered by the lack of ...

The three steps of the carbonate biogenic dissolution process by microborers in coral reefs (New Caledonia)

Biogenic dissolution of carbonates by microborers is one of the main destructive forces in coral reefs and is predicted to be enhanced by eutrophication and ocean acidification by 2100. The chlorophyte Ostreobium sp., the main agent of this process, ...

How accessible are coral reefs to people ? A global assessment based on travel time

The depletion of natural resources has become a major issue in many parts of the world, with the most accessible resources being most at risk. In the terrestrial realm, resource depletion has classically been related to accessibility through road net...

Assessing threats from coral and crustose coralline algae disease on the reefs of New Caledonia

The present study reports the results of the first quantitative survey of lesions on coral and crustose coralline algae (CCA) on reefs in the lagoon of New Caledonia. Surveys on inshore and offshore reefs were conducted at 13 sites in 2010, with 12 s...

Localised and limited impact of a dredging operation on coral cover in the northwestern lagoon of New Caledonia

We report here an interannual survey (2006-2012) of coral cover in the northwestern lagoon of New Caledonia, to assess the impact of an important dredging operation (August 2008-February 2010) associated with the construction of the largest nickel mi...

Allelopathic interactions between the brown algal genus Lobophora (Dictyotales, Phaeophyceae) and scleractinian corals

Allelopathy has been recently suggested as a mechanism by which macroalgae may outcompete corals in damaged reefs. Members of the brown algal genus Lobophora are commonly observed in close contact with scleractinian corals and have been considered re...

Comparison of visual census and high definition video transects for monitoring coral reef fish assemblages

Monitoring fish and underwater habitats, particularly in and around marine protected areas (MPAs) requires non-destructive observation methods. This is generally achieved by divers conducting underwater visual censuses (UVC), but video-based techniqu...

Fish communities of Geyser and Zelee coral banks (Western Indian Ocean).

The ichtyofauna of Geyser and Zelee coral banks (north of Mozambique canal) was investigated in 1996, this work being the first quantitative study on this area. Quantitative data were collected on 11 stations (mean depth 18 m) by visual observations ...

Extent of mangrove nursery habitats determines the geographic distribution of a coral reef fish in a South-Pacific archipelago.
