The effect of artificial reefs on fish assemblage versus natural sites in the Bandar Lengeh-Iran.

Artificial reefs are used to compensate the destruction of marine ecosystems. In the present study, the effects of artificial reefs were compared to natural sites. For this purpose, five treatments including four different forms (Reef ball (R), Laneh Mahi (L), used materials (U) and R+L+U) of artifi...
