摘要

Abstract

In 2012

an artificial reef system was deployed in Xiangshan Bay

China

to enhance its fishery resources. To determine the effect of the artificial reef system on the demersal nekton assemblages

a beforeafter- control-impact study design was applied. Comparisons of assemblages from impact and control habitats revealed that the assemblage in the impact area had a gradual response to reef deployment. The assemblages in the impact and control areas changed in different ways after reef deployment. During the study period

total biomass

species richness and average body weight in the control area remained relatively stable

whereas there were significant increases in these indicators in the impact area. Responses to the reefs differed among nekton species

inducing assemblage succession in the reefs post-deployment. Sparus macrocephalus and Cynoglossus abbreviatus benefited most from reef deployment. Conversely

smallsized shrimp Palaemon gravieri showed a progressive decrease in biomass following reef deployment. Overall

the artificial reef system diversified the demersal nekton assemblage

enhanced the total biomass

and increased the proportion of large-sized species.
