Intensive survey using traditional fishing methods
During the intensive 10-day survey, taxonomic experts identified 70 fish species. Nearly half of the species (53%) were sampled using gillnets, while the remaining were captured using a combination of traps, seine nets, fishing lines and cast nets. The number of fish species surveyed increased rapidly in the first four days, reaching 90% of the total species by day 6, before levelling off at a clear asymptote (Figure S2).
