Reef fish functional groups show variable declines due to deforestation-driven sedimentation, while flexible harvesting mitigates this damage

2025-09-29

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p>Sedimentation is a major coral reef stressor, with effects including suppressing algae consumption by herbivorous fish. This puts pressure on reef fish populations and the fisheries that harvest them. Deforestation causes much sedimentation on reefs, and is an ongoing concern in many tropical island states. Although ecosystem processes like deforestation and fish population dynamics are...
