SUMMARY Fishing can have major impacts on the structure of coral reef ecosystems. Overfishing herbivores is particularly detrimental, as it makes system more likely to undergo shifts macroalgal dominance in event mass mortality. Knowing when important processes, such herbivory, are becoming brittle because provide an opportunity for managers avoid undesirable ecosystem-level changes. This study investigates impact artisanal fishing three functional groups (grazers, scrapers and excavators)...
