Abstract

This article explores the use of low-flying drones to map substrate compositions in coral reefs and study the microhabitat use of coral reef fish. The study found that drones were effective in describing substrate composition, locating target fish in microhabitat mosaics, and recording their behaviors. However, the study also acknowledges the challenges of using drone photography, such as weather and sun conditions. The author suggests that low-flying drone photography should be applied to study fish in shallow and clear waters. [Extracted from the article]
