Surveys of fish before and after artificial reef construction in the Bahamas, 2015-2016
Abstract: 
Fish surveys were conducted at multiple sites in The Bahamas in 2015 and 2016. The experiments utilized artificial reefs that mimic natural patch reef habitats, concentrating fishes at high densities. The sizes of individual fish were recorded. For example, the first column contains the number of fish of that species that were 1 centimeter in length.
