Functional diversity of reef fish declines with high fishing intensity and weak enforcement.
Alpha diversity indices increased with stronger enforcement, showing management impacts on fish communities.
Beta diversity identified significant composition differences across reef sites, linked to enforcement and fishing intensities.
Unprotected sites faced predator depletion, while well-protected areas showed higher biomass due to fishing exclusion.
