  abstract = {{T}he temporal structure of reef fish post-larvae assemblages were examined at two sites on the southwest coast of {M}adagascar: {N}osy {V}e {I}sland, off {A}nakao, where every forms of fishing have been banned since 1999, and the north of the {G}reat {B}arrier {R}eef of {T}oliara which has been impacted by overfishing for years. {F}ish post-larvae were collected using light traps during five nights of the new moon periods from {A}ugust 2013 to {F}ebruary 2014. {A} total of 34 and 36 families grouping 95 and 101 different morphospecies were collected from the two sites respectively. {A}t both sites, fish post-larvae were more abundant and diverse from {D}ecember to {J}anuary. {S}ignificant differences in the assemblage structure of reef fish post-larvae were detected between seasons due to the {P}omacentridae ({P}omachromis richardsoni and {P}arma spp1), {M}ullidae ({P}arupeneus spp), {S}iganidae ({S}iganus sutor) and {B}lenniidae ({I}stiblennius edentulus). {T}he relationship between fish post-larval assemblage and abiotic factors differed between the two sites. {A}t the {A}nakao site, temperature and water transparency explained 26.4% of the variability observed in fish post-larvae assemblages when at the {G}reat {B}arrier {R}eef site, these two variables and salinity explained 20.7% only. {A}ll these results are discussed in the context of the development of post-larvae capture and culture for ornamental fish market and food fish rearing},
