Fish biodiversity patterns of a mesophotic-to-subphotic artificial reef complex and comparisons with natural substrates.
Artificial reefs act as high-rugosity habitats and are often deployed to enhance fishing; however, the effects of man-made features on fish communities can be unpredictable and are poorly understood in deeper waters. In this study, we used a submersible to describe a deep-water artificial reef compl...
