in which no fish were recorded 300 m away from
the reefs. We anticipated that the reef balls also provided important
shelter for H. steindachneri, S. flaviventris and Serranidae, but these
fishes probably have a larger home-range than H. aurolineatum, and
therefore could travel greater distances, on a daily basis, to find food.
The importance of home-range on the use of submerged structures by
Haemulidae and Serranidae has been previously noted
