Overview

This observational analysis finds high coral cover and low abundance of fish in Gelasa Island's waters, indicating potential ecosystem stress.

Key Points

  • The study reveals that coral reef cover in Gelasa Island averages 52.42%, indicating good health levels.
  • Abundance of coral reef fish is recorded at 49,114 ind/ha, categorized as very rare, showcasing a potential ecosystem imbalance.
  • Using underwater photo transect and underwater visual census methods, the study assesses coral health and fish populations.
  • Findings suggest that while coral cover is healthy, fish diversity and stability indicate possible ecological concerns.
