Declines in the abundance of coral trout (Plectropomus leopardus) in areas closed to fishing at the Houtman Abrolhos Islands, Western Australia

This study aimed to assess temporal trends in the abundance and size of the tropical coral trout, Plectropomus leopardus (Lacepède, 1802), in areas open and closed to fishing at the Houtman Abrolhos Islands. Baited remote underwater stereo-video systems (stereo BRUVs) were used to conduct surveys fr...
