Data collected through a stratified catch and effort survey were used to assess the impact of the 1998 mass coral bleaching event on socio-economic and biological indicators for the coastal reef fisheries of the Seychelles. There was a significant reduction in the abundance index and monthly yields per square kilometre for representatives of the family Siganidae following 1998. However, this was not associated with the bleaching event and conformed with the declining trend prior to the impact. Abundance indices and yields per square kilometre did not change significantly for the primary target families of the handline fisheries (Lutjanidae, Serranidae, Lethrinidae and Carangidae). Declining trends in abundance indices and yields for Octopodidae reversed after 1998, although the phenomena could not be independently linked to coral bleaching. Whilst critical resource based management issues are identified for the demersal handline fishery, the results suggest that there were no negative short-term bio-economic impacts on Seychelles coastal reef fisheries associated with mass coral mortality.
