However the abundance of small fish masks what’s lacking—larger fish, predators like snapper, pelagic species like kingfish. So, where are they? Well, it’s complicated…

There are fewer habitats available in a small island group, so the fish life is naturally less diverse. For instance, there are no seagrass meadows here, which are nurseries for juvenile snapper and kingfish. As a result you’ll only see adults, but then surprisingly few of them, and that is mostly due to the fact that big fish are targeted by fishers.
