Beyond the Surface: Mesophotic Reefs as Potential Refuges for Shallow Fish Assemblages

ABSTRACT The deep reef refugia hypothesis suggests that the effects of disturbance decrease as depth increases; thus, reefs in the mesophotic zone potentially serve as refuges for communities in shallower zones. This study challenged this hypothesis by evaluating fish diversity in shallow and mesoph...
