Estimating the role of three mesopredatory fishes in coral reef food webs at Ningaloo Reef, Western Australia

Within the complex food webs that occur on coral reefs, mesopredatory fish consume small-bodied prey and transfer accumulated biomass to other trophic levels. We estimated biomass, growth and mortality rates of three common mesopredators from Ningaloo Reef in Western Australia to calculate their ann...
