  abstract = {{T}ropical reefs and the fish relying on them are under increasing pressure. {S}hallow-reef fish provide important ecological information in addition to sustaining fisheries, tourism and more. {A}lthough empirical metrics of fish biomass are widely used in fisheries management, metrics of biomass production-how much new biomass is produced over time-are rarely estimated even though such production informs potential fisheries yields. {H}ere we estimate fish standing biomass ({B}), biomass production ({P}, the rate of biomass accumulation) and biomass turnover ({P}/{B} ratio, the rate of biomass replacement) for 1,979 tropical reef sites spanning 39 tropical countries. {O}n the basis of fish standing biomass and biomass turnover, we propose a conceptual framework that splits reefs into three classes to visualize ecological and socio-economic risk and help guide spatial management interventions (for example, marine protected areas) to optimize returns on conservation efforts. {A}t large scales, high turnover was associated with high human pressure and low primary productivity, whereas high biomass was associated with low human pressure and high primary productivity. {G}oing beyond standing fish biomass to consider dynamic ecological processes can better guide regional coral reef conservation and sustainable fisheries management. {S}ustaining tropical reefs in the {A}nthropocene is a vital challenge. {T}his study proposes guiding regional conservation on the basis of ecological processes and finds that the biomass and productivity of reef fish provide complementary information for management.},
