  abstract = {{S}ize-based indicators are appropriate for monitoring status and guiding management of multi-species, multi-gear fisheries, such as coral reef fisheries. {F}rom {M}ay 2018 to {A}pril 2019, size distribution and composition of coral reef fish catches were monitored through a participatory landing survey in southwestern {M}adagascar. {F}ishers targeted a large diversity of fish taxa (75 families) and range of sizes (1.6-86 cm). {F}ive predominant gears accounted for most of the catch (1360 [+/- 39] t), including mosquito net trawl (27.7%), beach seine (26.8%), speargun (7.2%), gillnet (30.6%), and handline (7.1%). {D}ue to widespread use of gears made from mosquito nets, 75% of fishes smaller than 9 cm and 47% of juvenile fishes were represented in the total catch number. {L}arge-size taxa ({S}caridae, {L}ethrinidae, {S}iganidae, {A}canthuridae, {S}ynodontidae, {M}ullidae, and {L}abridae) were mostly harvested as juveniles. {C}atches varied by 8%-70% throughout the year. {S}ize of coral reef fish, annual catches, and catch rates all declined since the 1990s.},
