Description de la séance

This session will examine the ecological importance of cryptobenthic fishes, a diverse guild of small, cryptic species that make critical contributions to reef productivity and trophic dynamics, yet remain largely overlooked. It will demonstrate how incorporating these fishes into biodiversity assessments yields a more comprehensive and accurate understanding of marine ecosystem structure and function.
