The composition of reef-associated fishes in Ulee Lheue breakwater Banda Aceh, Aceh, Indonesia

Evaluation of conservation and trade status of marine ornamental fish harvested from Pangandaran Coastal Waters, West Java, Indonesia

“…In these comparisons, we found variable results. We found that in this study we obtained a higher number of fish species than that reported by Hastuty et al (2014) in Weh Island, Aceh; Yusuf (2013) in Karimunjawa National Park, Java Sea; and Fadli et al (2018) in Ulee Lheue breakwater, Banda Aceh. The present study obtained even greater fish diversity than reported by Fadli et al (2012), although they sampled all types of coral fish (ornamental and nonornamental species).…”

“…The higher species numbers obtained in this study compared to the study from Hastuty et al 2014, Yusuf (2013) and Fadli et al (2018) indicate that Pangandaran has a high potential for supplying marine ornamental fish species and provides additional support for it to be able to fulfill the livelihood needs of the community in this district. The differences between our study and those of the previous studies from Sahetapy et al (2018), Madduppa et al (2013), and Unsworth et al (2007) could be due to the different focus of our study.…”
