Spatial variation in coral reef fish and benthic communities in the central Saudi Arabian Red Sea
Khalil, Maha T.; Bouwmeester, Jessica; Berumen, Michael L. ( PeerJ , 2017 , Article)Local-scale ecological information is critical as a sound basis for spatial management and conservation and as support for ongoing research in relatively unstudied areas. We conducted visual surveys of fish and benthic ...
