San Antonio: <strong>ecological</strong> studies<br />

� General<br />

o Fish assemblage<br />

Fish assemblages have been studied in the area since 2000, using underwater<br />

visual census (UVC) as the main sampling technique. The principal objective<br />

has been to study the temporal and spatial variations <strong>of</strong> fish assemblage at<br />

several spatial scales, from 10s to 1000s metres (Forcada 2004). The effect <strong>of</strong><br />

beach replenishment on artisanal fisheries was studied close to San Antonio<br />

Coastal Marine Reserve (Valle Pérez 2005).<br />
