- Fish diversity in the Berlengas Natural Reserve (Portugal), a marine protected areaPublication . Maranhão, Paulo; Vasco Rodrigues, Nuno; Mendes, Susana; Franco, João; Castanheira, Maria; Castro, NunoSince 1981, Berlengas, an archipelago located about 7 miles off Peniche (Western Coast of Portugal), became a marine protected area. Underwater visual census, namely rover diver counts, were used to assess the fish species present in the area during two summer campaigns, 2004 and 2005, comprising a total of 16 hours of scuba diving observations. This study aimed to obtain a more accurate and detailed checklist of the fish species present in the archipelago than the one already existing in result of a few previous studies. A total of 48 fish species belonging to 22 different families were observed during the two study periods. Labridae and Sparidae were the most represented families and Diplodus vulgaris and Labrus bergylta were the most frequent species.
