Fish community structure and diversity in the Tampolo Lagoon, Madagascar
Abstract
WHY TAMPOLO LAGOON ?Tropical lagoons support biodiversity and small-scale fisheries, yet many remain poorly documented and weakly protected.In northeastern Madagascar, Tampolo Lagoon is used by local communities and bordered by a protected forest area, but the lagoon itself remains outside formal conservation planning.This study provides the first standardized fish inventory of the lagoon and examines how fish assemblages are structured across its heterogeneous sectors.
