摘要

The extent to which artificial reefs may be useful for mitigation of environmental impacts, fisheries management, and conservation depends in part upon how well the organisms that live on them fare. We tested whether fish living on artificial reefs were in similar condition (weight-at-length), grew, foraged, reproduced, and produced tissue at rates similar to those on natural reefs. We studied five artificial-natural reef pairs spread over >200 km in the Southern California Bight. Underwater visual transects were used to quantify density and size structure of four target species (Paralabrax clathratus, Paralabrax nebulifer, Semicossyphus pulcher, and Embiotoca jacksoni), which were also collected to measure foraging success, condition, growth, reproductive output, and tissue production. Generally, fish living on artificial reefs fared as well or better than those on natural reefs, with some exceptions. Semicossyphus pulcher fared better on artificial reefs, having higher foraging success, fecundity, densities, and tissue production. Embiotoca jacksoni grew faster on natural reefs, and P. nebulifer was in slightly better condition on natural reefs. Total fish tissue production tended to be higher on artificial reefs than on natural reefs, though this pattern was not evident on all reef pairs. Tissue production was positively correlated with the abundance of large boulders, which was higher on artificial reefs than natural reefs. The similar or greater production offish tissue per cubic metre on artificial reefs relative to natural reefs indicates that these artificial habitats are valuable in producing fish biomass. Fish living on artificial reefs fared as well as those living on natural reefs, indicating that well-designed artificial reefs can be useful tools for mitigation, conservation, and fisheries management.
