Os ambientes recifais são caracterizados como formações de fundo consolidado de origem orgânica e/ou inorgânica. Em costões rochosos, fatores bióticos e abióticos determinam a sua biodiversidade. Na praia do Forno, onde o fenômeno da ressurgência ocorre, a assembleia de peixes recifais foi analisada por meio de censo visual. A cobertura bentônica do substrato foi classificada em quatro categorias. O uso do substrato foi determinado pela abundância relativa das espécies em cada um de seus tipos. Um total de 5414 indivíduos pertencentes a 31 espécies de peixes recifais foi observado. Os resultados demonstraram que a preferência por habitats, caracterizados pela cobertura por organismos bentônicos, foi um fator importante na determinação da composição da assembleia de peixes recifais, em uma microescala. A escolha de um habitat dentre os diversos tipos de substrato, poder ser em sua maior parte explicada pela disponibilidade de recursos alimentares.
Palavras chave: Cobertura bentônica, padrões biogeográficos, interações bióticas, habitat, ictiofauna, costões rochosos.
