ABUNDANCE AND SPATIAL DISTRIBUTION OF THALASSOMA LUCASANUM (GILL, 1863) IN A CORAL REEF OF THE EASTERN TROPICAL PACIFIC

摘要

In order to determine the spatial distribution and abundance patterns of the rainbow wrasse (Thalassoma lucasanum) across a coral reef of the eastern tropical pacific, visual censuses of fish were carried out along 10 transects in a fringing coral reef at Gorgona Island off Colombia.
