The Ecology of Fishes on Coral Reefs
This book provides a comprehensive and up-to-date review of the ecology of coral reef fishes presented by top researchers from North America and Australia. Immense strides have been made over the past twenty years in our understanding of ecological systems in general and of reef fish ecology in particular. Many of the methodologies that reef fish ecologists use in their studies will be useful to a wider audience of ecologists for the design of their ecological studies. Significant among the impacts of the research on reef fish ecology are the development of nonequilibrium models of community organization, more emphasis on the role of recruitment variability in structuring local assemblages, the development and testing of evolutionary models of social organization and reproductive biology, and new insights into predator-prey and plant-herbivore interactions.

S. V. Smith (1978) estimated the fisheries potential of coral reef areas worldwide
at 6 million metric tons per year, which represents about 7% of current world
marine capture fisheries. The actual yield in 1983 [0.48 million metric tons ...
