Texas artificial reef spanning 1,650 acres found harboring 24.4 tonnes of fish
Researchers have made a significant discovery off the Texas coast, finding that a man-made reef supports around 24.4 tonnes of fish biomass. The reef was constructed using repurposed materials such as old boats and concrete blocks, creating varied habitats for marine species. Scientists used sonar surveys to measure fish activity and estimate biomass across the site. Findings revealed that the height and shape of reef structures played a key role in attracting fish. The study highlights the broader ecological value of artificial reefs in supporting marine life.
