Artificial reefs are to be used as a tool in fisheries management in worldwide
since long time. Fishing practices in artificial reef areas should also be operated
with a management model as it is in the other fishing zones. Unmanaged artificial reef
system may be more harmful than its profits. Acoustic telemetry can be an extremely
effective tool to understand the home range and movement models of the fish species
for data of management fisheries in artificial reef areas. Acoustic telemetry technology
has an important potential to determine strategy in fisheries management around
artificial reefs and in construct more efficient artificial reef project.
