| In days of increasingly threatened marine tropical ecosystems, it is important to improve knowledge on understudied but taxonomically rich habitats. If fish assemblages from barrier and fringing reefs are generally well studied, patch reefs are much less known. The objective of the present study (part of the EPICURE project) was to better understand taxonomic and functional specificity of patch reefs fish assemblages compared to the well-studied subtidal reef flat and outer slope habitats. Unbaited rotating video systems (STAVIRO) were used to quantify fish abundance on two sitesfrom the northern Mozambic channel (Mayotte Iris bank and Geyser bank). Taxonomic and functional diversity metrics were used to compare assemblages among habitats. None of the... |

| For the first time ever at such a spatial scale, the EPICURE project is using the complementary exosystemic, functional and fisheries approaches to analyze and compare the partially exploited fish‐populating structure of the Geyser, Zélée, and Iris banks. This project focuses on three main points, which are 1) a habitat map of the three banks and an assessment of the live coral coverage as a proxy of the Geyser bank’s health, 2) a description of fish assemblages and a functional analysis relative to habitat type and time and 3) an estimate of the abundance index in structure size of the main exploited stocks. Overall, 42 habitats over 268 km² were mapped on the Geyser bank with 534 field verifications. On the Zélée bank, 24 habitats were mapped over 183... |
