The use of visual surveys as a means of estimating fish standing stocks is discussed with respect to reef fish. Difficulties associated with this technique are noted. Visual survey methods are relatively cheap, non-destructive, unselective and easily replicated, thus being ideally suited to the needs of many developing countries, where reeffisheries represent an important resource.
