Effects of fishing on a coral reef fish assemblage in Northeastern Brazil

Reef fisheries are key commercial and subsistence activities that support the livelihoods of millions of people. I assessed how different gear types selected for distinct functional traits and affected the catch rates of coral reef fishes in Northeastern Brazil. While gears used in reef habitats were selective of sedentary and benthic species, gears used in coastal lagoons were selective of mobile pelagic species. In coral reefs, gears were more detrimental to catch rates than in lagoons.
