Artificial reef was used in marine ranch to improve the marine ecological environment and enhance the fishery resources.Attractive effects of artificial reef may be attributed to creating habitat,shelter and spawning ground for the various kinds of fish,therefore positively affect the breeding and growth of the fish.In recent years,artificial reef construction programs have been rapidly developed in China.However,the knowledge of the effect of artificial reef on marine ecological environment is limited.The present study aimed to determine the influence of materials,structure and combination on the attractive effects of the artificial reefs and therefore provide useful data and information for the development of artificial reef construction.In the present study,the effects of ten kinds of artificial reef models with different shapes,which have been deployed in Yangmeikeng reef area,on the behavioral responses of the fish Sparus macrocephalus and the fish attraction effects of the artificial reef models were analyzed and compared with those without the artificial reef model in the trough.The result showed that in the condition without the artificial reef model in the trough,the fish liked to stay in radius of the center trough area within 40-70 cm.while the fish are more dispersed in the trough.After the artificial model was put into the troughs,the fish liked to stay in radius of the center trough area within 20-50 cm while No.1 reefNo.8 reef were put into the trough,the fish liked to stay in radius of the center trough area within 10-40 cm while No.9 reef and No.10 reef were put into the trough.The average occurring rate of the fish inside and near the reef areas all increased,while comparing fish occurring rates in artificial reef areas with or without artificial reef.The analysis results showed that all of the ten artificial reef models have obvious attraction effects on S.macrocephalus, especially for model NO.10.Its attraction effects ramk from strong to weak,respectively No.10 Reef>No.9 Reef>No.1 Reef>No.2Reef>No.7 Reef>No.4 Reef>No.5 reef>No.6 reef>No.8 reef>No.3 reef.The present study aims to determine the influence of materials,structure and combination on the attractive effects of the artificial reefs and thus provide useful data and information for the development of artificial reef construction.
