Out of sight, out of mind: Removal of predators by fisheries alters reef fish behaviour.

Shawn Dsouza, Akshta Joshi, Maria Thaker, Kartik Shanker

The paper examines how predator removal by fisheries affects reef fish behavior, finding that fish in protected areas show increased vigilance and altered foraging and movement behaviors in response to predator models.

Local extraction of predatory fish may initiate behaviourally mediated trophic cascades in coral reefs in the Andaman Islands.

Shawn Dsouza, Akshta Joshi, Bharat Ahuja…·Kartik Shanker

The paper examines how fishing impacts predator-prey dynamics in coral reefs by comparing marine protected areas with fished areas, finding altered prey behavior and habitat effects.
