Abstract

The ichthyofauna was investigated at 2 sites (Nairogo and Telaw) around coastal area coexisting mangrove forest and coral reef in Viti Levu Island, Fiji. A total of 1, 175 individuals of 65 species belonging to 19 families were recorded. The ichthyofauna was characterized by larger individuals and species numbers of coral-associated and/or planktophagous species. Although number of species was greater at the site where the coral coverage and water visibility were higher, density (/100m2) was similar between the sites. Fish density in this study area might be affected by the water visibility, and the distribution patterns of live coral and food resources for fishes.
