✦ Synopsis


  1. Four species of Chaetodontidae, Chaetodon melapterus, Chaetodon nigropunctatus, Chaetodon vagabundus and Heniochus acuminatus, were observed in coral reef areas of the Iranian waters in the northern Persian Gulf.

  2. Chaetodon vagabundus was very rarely observed.

  3. Population size of the obligate corallivore Chaetodon nigropunctatus was found to be significantly correlated with percentage live coral cover, although results indicate more comprehensive surveys are needed before confirming C. nigropunctatus as an indicator species for changing conditions of coral reefs in the northern Persian Gulf.
