Fusiliers (IMAGE) Wildlife Conservation Society Caption A school of fusiliers above a coral reef. Scientists from WCS and other groups have found that coral reefs that maintained 500 kilograms of fish biomass per hectare (about 50 percent of an average reef's carrying capacity) were found to maintain ecological functions while sustaining local fisheries, providing fishers and marine managers with a critical target.
