Protection from illegal fishing and shark recovery restructures mesopredatory fish communities on a coral reef.
TL;DR: It is suggested that the large decline of small mesopredatory fish in reef habitat was mostly due to higher predation pressure following the increase in sharks and large mesopedatory fishes.

TL;DR: In this article, the impacts of exposure to a commercial seismic source on an assemblage of tropical demersal fishes targeted by commercial fisheries on the North West Shelf of Western Australia were quantified.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated fish and benthic communities along a ca.345 km section of offshore pipeline in remote northern Australia to compare pipeline communities with those in surrounding areas and provide context for decommissioning risk assessments.

TL;DR: In this article , the authors assess the diversity and abundance of species that are targets of recreational and commercial fisheries on 33 subsea wells and 17 pipelines across the tropical northwest and temperate southeast marine regions of Australia.
Mesophotic benthic communities associated with a submerged palaeoshoreline in Western Australia
M. Wakeford,Marji Puotinen,William A Nicholas,Jamie Colquhoun,Brigit Vaughan,Steve W Whalan,Iain Parnum,Ben Radford,Mark Case,Ronen Galaiduk,Karen Miller +10 more
TL;DR: This study investigates the mesophotic benthic communities associated with a submerged palaeoshoreline in Western Australia, finding that post-glacial sediments have infilled parts of the shoreline, with limited epibenthic biota and filter feeder organisms dominating hard substrate habitats.
