Artificial reefs increase fish abundance in habitat‐limited estuaries

Human activities have reduced the carrying capacity of many estuarine systems by degrading and removing habitat. Artificial reefs may increase estuarine rocky‐reef habitat, but our understanding of their ecological impact is limited. In particular, the question of whether fish on artificial structures are produced by the habitat or attracted from nearby natural rocky‐reefs is of concern. We used baited remote underwater video at artificial reef...
