Overview

Surveys quantify reef fish community structure and spatial variation in Nipah Bay, suggesting habitat influences.

Key Points

  • The aim is to quantify the community structure and spatial variation of reef fishes in Nipah Bay.
  • Surveys conducted in July 2025 at three stations and two depths (3 m and 7 m)
  • Used underwater visual census along 70 × 5 m belt transects
  • Identified all observed fishes to species level and recorded total length
  • Measured environmental parameters, including temperature, salinity, pH, current velocity, and total suspended solids
  • Recorded 1,884 individuals belonging to 55 species, 32 genera, and 15 families
  • Overall fish biomass was 58.07 g m⁻², with Acanthuridae being the largest contributors
  • Diversity indices indicated moderate to high diversity (H' = 2.13–3.02) and high evenness (E = 0.67–0.86)
