Storm-induced changes in environmental conditions are correlated with shifts in temperate reef fish abundance and diversity

Storm-induced changes in environmental conditions are correlated with shifts in temperate reef fish abundance and diversity

We studied the effects of regularly occurring non-destructive storm events on a temperate Australian reef fish assemblage. We collected 78 remote underwater stereo-video samples during four storms. The relative abundance and species richness of fishes were compared to environmental data (significant...
