“…Haemulids also accounted for most of the temporal response among invertivorous, since this family was largely composed of species that forage preferentially on benthic invertebrates. Other studies have also recorded a numerical dominance of haemulids on artificial reefs of varied materials (Godoy and Coutinho, 2002;Cunningham and Saul, 2004;Freitas et al, 2006), in which their intensive use of complex structures was largely related to shelter or nursery purposes. In our study, DCA revealed a gradual increase in the grunt C. nobilis, and the haemulids as a group until year 6 or 7 of the reef deployment, with a continuous decrease in abundance thereafter.…”

Summary Changes in fish assemblages associated with artificial reefs 5‐km offshore (Southeast Brazil) were assessed. Bottom gillnets were used for 1 month per year for up to 15 years after the artificial reef had been established. Totals of 552 fishes were caught, with Chloroscombrus chrysurus and Conodon nobilis the dominant species and Scianidae the richest family. Species richness, abundance and biomass varied significantly with time, increasing gradually for several years but decreasing thereafter. The same unimodal response was recorded for abundance and biomass of planktivorous and invertivorous fishes and for Haemulidae, suggesting that this family accounted for most of the temporal variations recorded per species richness and CPUE values. The abundance and biomass of sharks decreased gradually after the first year but increased in the 15th year. While these variables increased steadily toward an apparent stable level in the later part of the study for Scianidae and Ariidae, they decreased linearly with time for Carangidae. Fish use of the artificial reefs may be modulated by a continuous species turnover, since there was no single species recurring throughout the surveys. This study stresses the importance of long‐term assessments of artificial marine reefs in order to incorporate the effects of successional patterns of fish colonization into management actions.

“…museum records -ZUEC). In total, 142 hours were spent on dives: (i) 20 hours with snorkelling and SCUBA for this work; (ii) 42 hours by Sazima et al (2000); and (iii) 80 hours by Cunningham & Saul (2004). Dives were concentrated in the south and east sides of the island (i.e.…”

“…South Beach and East Beach), and inside Palmas Bay, a cove in the west face of the island with depths of up to 12 m. All the reef fish observed during the dives were noted and, eventually, divers searched for cryptic species beneath crevices and rocks. Considering the different samplings, dives were carried over a depth range of 2-17 meters (for more details see Sazima et al 2000 andCunningham &Saul 2004). Twelve bottom trawls of 12 minutes each were carried out around the island, in the sand substrate adjacent to the rocky reefs, between 10 and 16 m depths.…”

“…Only two reef fish assessments were carried out in the vicinity of the Anchieta Island State Park (AISP), the protected area focused by the present study. One of these studies tested the use of artificial reefs for habitat restoration (Cunningham & Saul, 2004) and the other was focused on cleaning symbiosis, involving 35 fish species (Sazima et al 2000). Here, we provide a checklist of teleosts and elasmobranchs of the AISP and comment upon the known distribution and conservation status of the recorded species.…”

This paper presents a checklist of the reef fish fauna of the Anchieta Island State Park, a no-take zone in which no extractive activities are allowed, in Ubatuba, Southeastern Brazil. Data was obtained between 2011 and 2013, mainly through underwater observations with snorkelling and SCUBA, and secondarily using scientific fishing (trawling). Published and unpublished data were also verified and compiled. A total of 103 reef fish species, distributed in 78 genus and 50 families was recorded. Haemulidae was the richest family (n=7 species), followed by Epinephelidae (n=6), Pomacentridae, Carangidae and Tetraodontidae (n= 4 each). Haemulon was also the most speciose genera (n=5), followed by Stegastes, Acanthurus and Mycteroperca (n=3 each). Sixty-nine species (67%) are included in global and regional Red Lists. Twenty-five species (24.2%) are within the categories Critically Endangered (CR), Endangered (EN), Vulnerable (VU) and Near-Threathened (NT). The network of Marine Protected Areas in Southeastern Brazil is still incipient, and the considerable number of threatened species in the Anchieta Island State Park clearly indicates the importance of the study area for the conservation of coastal and reef fishes.Key words: rocky reefs; species richness; scientific diving; ichthyology; conservation. Peixes recifais do Parque Estadual da Ilha Anchieta, Sudoeste do Atlântico, BrasilResumo: Este artigo apresenta uma lista de espécies de peixes recifais do Parque Estadual da Ilha Anchieta, uma área na qual nenhuma atividade extrativista é permitida, em Ubatuba, Sudeste do Brasil. Os dados foram coletados entre 2011 e 2013, principalmente por observações subaquáticas com o uso de mergulhos livres e autônomos e, secundariamente, através de pescaria científica (arrasto). Dados publicados e não publicados também foram verificados e compilados. Foram registradas 103 espécies de peixes recifais distribuídas em 78 gêneros e 50 famílias. Haemulidae foi a família com maior número de espécies (n=7 espécies), seguida por Epinephelidae (n=6), Pomacentridae, Carangidae e Tetraodontidae (n=4 cada). Os gêneros com maior número de espécies foram Haemulon (n=5) e Stegastes¸ Acanthurus e Mycteroperca (n=3 cada). Sessenta e nove espécies (67%) estão inclusas em listas vermelhas de espécies ameaçadas globais e regionais. Vinte e cinco espécies (24,2%) são classificadas nas categorias Criticamente em Perigo (CR), Em Perigo (EN), Vulnerável (VU) e Quase Ameaçadas (NT). A rede de Áreas Marinhas Protegidas no Sudeste do Brasil ainda é incipiente e o considerável número de espécies ameaçadas no Parque Estadual da Ilha Anchieta indica claramente a importância da área de estudo para a conservação de peixes recifais e costeiros.
