Drivers of reef fish assemblages in an upwelling region from the Eastern Tropical Pacific Ocean
Journal of Fish Biology, Volume 98, Issue 4, Page 1074-1090, April 2021., 2021 Abstract Reef fish assemblages are exposed to a wide range of anthropogenic threats as well as chronic natural disturbances. In upwelling regions, for example, there is a seasonal influx of cool nutrient‐rich waters that may shape the structure and composition of reef fish assemblages.
