A new study estimates that reef fishes in the Coral Triangle are worth $3 billion, representing 30% of the total value of commercial fisheries in the region, based on datasets gathered from the Food and Agriculture Organization.

This figure is likely an underestimate and does not include the value of small reef fish species consumed by tunas, estimated at $150 million. The study also estimates that coral reef ecosystems in the region support the employment of about 15 million small-scale fishers.
