  abstract = {{T}here is increasing evidence that non-reef habitats in the seascape surrounding coral reefs are widely used by reef-associated fishes. {H}owever, our understanding of seascape use in the {I}ndo-{P}acific region is incomplete due to its large geographical range and as a consequence, considerable environmental variation (e.g. tidal regimes). {W}e used remote video cameras to survey reef-associated fishes within five habitat types (coral reef slope, coral reef flat, macroalgal beds, mangroves and seagrass meadows) around the {T}igak {I}slands, {K}avieng, {P}apua {N}ew {G}uinea. {O}f the 282 shallow-water reef-associated species observed across 360 videos, 35% (99 species) were recorded in non-reef habitats, the majority (78 species) on multiple occasions. {W}e found that macroalgal beds dominated by low-complexity algal genera (e.g. {H}alimeda, {C}aulerpa) were used extensively by reef-associated fishes, complementing previous research that has documented the use of canopy-forming macroalgae (e.g. {S}argassum). {M}ean species richness and relative abundances ({M}ax{N}) of reef-associated fishes were twofold higher in macroalgal beds than mangroves or seagrass. {I}nterestingly, mangroves contained the most distinct fish assemblage of the three non-reef habitats, including several reef-associated species that were not recorded from any other habitat type. {T}his suggests that mangroves possess attributes not shared by other shallow non-reef, or even reef, habitats. {I}mportantly, many of the fish families commonly found in non-reef habitats (i.e. lethrinids, lutjanids) are targeted by local fishers and are thus critical to sustaining local livelihoods. {O}ur study demonstrates that non-reef habitat use is common for many reef-associated fishes and highlights the need to incorporate a range of habitats into study designs to better understand habitat use patterns in the {I}ndo-{P}acific. {G}iven the widespread degradation of coral reefs and other shallow-water habitats, we emphasize the need to recognize that reefs are embedded within a mosaic of habitat types that influence patterns and processes and that management strategies should be scaled appropriately.},
