In this study, we hypothesised that FADs located along a distance gradient from the shore might lead the early stage associated fishes inshore. The findings suggest that FAD systems might be exerting two different effects on juvenile fish distribution: (a) offshore FADs tend to retain associated fish for longer periods of time, (b) coastal FADs favour the transition of fishes from the pelagic to the benthic domain.

Abstract
In this study, we hypothesised that FADs located along a distance gradient from the shore might lead the early stage associated fishes inshore. The findings suggest that FAD systems might be exerting two different effects on juvenile fish distribution: (a) offshore FADs tend to retain associated fish for longer periods of time, (b) coastal FADs favour the transition of fishes from the pelagic to the benthic domain.File in questo prodotto:
