Influence of a shipwreck on a nearshore-reef fish assemblages off the coast of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

The effect of the Orion shipwreck on fish assemblage distribution near the reef was studied to the northeast of Rio de Janeiro with six different fishing gears: gillnets, mid-water longlines, circular traps, rectangular traps, vertical longlines, and bottom trawling. The study consisted of a pre-mon...
