Table 1. Species targeted by fishermen using differing gear types and operating within distinct subsystems of the coastal seascape. Functional groups of target organisms are based on trophic level. Dietary preferences and trophic level are based on Froese et al. (2004).
1 = reef associated
2 = seagrass associated.
