environment in which they are deployed, they are 
likely to collect more larvae and hence better meet 
the needs of researchers working on settlement-stage 
reef fishes.

This work results from research funded partially by the 
Connectivity Working Group of the Coral Reef Targeted 
Research (CRTR) Program, a Global Environment Facil- 
ity-World Bank-University of Queensland international 
program. C. Nolan was supported by the Irish Research 
Council for Science, Engineering, and Technology. We 
thank S. Planes and J. Grignon (University of Perpi- 
gnon), S. Thorrold, H. Walsh, and L. Houghton (Woods 
Hole Oceanographic Institute), and the Institute of 
Marine Studies, University of Belize. Invaluable field 
assistance field was provided by P. H. Harbin, J. D. 
Hogan, R. Fisher, and the entire P. F. Sale laboratory. 
B. Victor provided essential identifications of larval fish, 
for both material specimens and for specimens viewed 
online at the Coral Reef Fish website.
