Impact/Purpose:
This study is part of a series of investigations of the natural history of the Pelican Cays, Belize, coordinated by Ian G. Macintyre and Klaus Riitzler of the Smithsonian Institution, and an outgrowth of the early interest in the Pelicans by Anthony (Tony) and Therese Rath, then of the Pelican Beach Hotel (now of Naturalight Productions) in Dangriga, Belize

The fishes of the Pelican Cays, Belize, were sampled using a combination of small rotenone stations and visual censuses. Records from the Pelican Cays are compared with lists of species known from the adjacent Rhomboidal Cays, the inshore coastline of Belize, the outer margin of the Belize Barrier Reef and the off-shore banks. At least three species are known only from the Pelican Cays (and nearby Rhomboidal and Wee-Wee Cays).
