All of this food makes the mangrove a great place for fish.
這使得紅樹(shù)林成為魚(yú)兒的天堂。
Small residents as well as youngsters that will one day move out to the barrier reef.
這些小魚(yú)和幼魚(yú)有一天會(huì)離開(kāi)紅樹(shù)林，前往大堡礁。
Reef species like these rabbit fish may look big, but they are still only 1/3 of their adult size.
像籃子魚(yú)這種大堡礁魚(yú)類(lèi)，可能看起來(lái)很大，但它們現(xiàn)在只有成年尺寸的三分之一。
These snappers also have some growing up to do before they leave.
同樣在這里長(zhǎng)大的大堡礁魚(yú)，還有這些鯛魚(yú)。
And these young trevally will grow up one day and be major predators on the outer reef.
而這些澳洲鲹魚(yú)有朝一日將成為外堡礁的主要掠食者。
The mangrove sea grass meadows on the soft coral oases are vital nurseries for so many fish on the reef.
紅樹(shù)林，海草牧場(chǎng)和軟珊瑚綠洲是許多礁石區(qū)魚(yú)類(lèi)的重要托兒所。
And they all provide 2 things-food and shelter.
它們都提供了兩樣?xùn)|西，食物和庇護(hù)。
The complexity of the mangrove root system makes it a perfect haven for small and juvenile fish, the reason is the lattice work of the roots as they cross means it's very difficult for large predators to maneuver, and actually get at the smaller fish.
紅樹(shù)林根系的復(fù)雜性使它成為小魚(yú)和幼魚(yú)的完美避風(fēng)港，因?yàn)檫@些縱橫交錯(cuò)根系的存在，使大型食肉魚(yú)很難駕馭這一地形或獵食幼魚(yú)或小魚(yú)。
But predators like these young black tip reef sharks hide here too.
食肉類(lèi)的幼體比如小黑鰭礁鯊也在這里藏身。
They hunt at the edge of the mangroves.
它們會(huì)在紅樹(shù)林邊緣捕獵。
But they can't get deep into the tangle of roots.
但依舊不能深入到根系區(qū)域。
So the young fish are safe for now.
因此至少現(xiàn)在，幼珊瑚魚(yú)們是安全的。
So it's a great environment for the small fish to actually grow up and to get big and strong before they make their big move out to the open sea in the reef beyond.
這里是一個(gè)不錯(cuò)的地方，幼魚(yú)在此長(zhǎng)大，變大變強(qiáng)。之后它們開(kāi)始向大海，向珊瑚礁進(jìn)發(fā)。
