Fig. 5: Contributions of fish size to total fish biomass at comparison and reference sites.
From: Species richness and identity both determine the biomass of global reef fish communities
A A much larger proportion of the biomass of species unique to reference sites was attributable to large fishes (>200 cm), as compared to species that were only found at comparison sites. B Among those species that were shared between both the reference and comparison sites, small fish (<50 cm) made up a much larger proportion of the total biomass, especially at the comparison site. Points are medians ±95% quantiles, and the gray shaded area shows the underlying distribution of raw data. The total number of individuals represented in the plot is n = 41,267.
