dc.description.abstract	The effectiveness of artificial reefs (ARs) influencing fish composition, biodiversity and biomass were studied from May 2005 to September 2007 in the coastal waters of Kuala Terengganu. Three selected artificial reefs - TRs (tire reefs), CRs (concrete reefs) and CTRs (mixed concrete with tire reefs); and also neighboring natural reef (NRs) were investigated. Two different survey methods viz. fishing survey and diving visual census, were followed using handline/ gillnet operation, stationary visual census and underwater video recording. Altogether, 142 species belonging to 43 families and 88 genera were identified at both artificial and natural reef sites.	en_US
