Patterns of fish movement on eastern Tasmanian rocky reefs

We assessed small-scale movement patterns of fishes on three eastern Tasmanian reefs by divers visually resighting 1040 individuals of 16 species marked with unique colour-coded tags. With the possible exception of the monacanthid Acanthaluteres vittiger, common species showed high fidelity to site,...
