Aims of the study is to examine larval fish assemblages over reef and sand substrates of pre-identified biozones. Investigate possible physico-chemical variables responsible for the larval fish distributions. Test if the identified biozones act as biodiversity surrogates for larval fish communities to inform conservation planning of MPAs.
