Table S1summary Information of Tagged Fish That Experienced a Potential Mortality Event (PME)*

Fig.S1Acoustic receiver array within Pioneer Bay at Orpheus Island. Dark grey boxes represent the placements of receivers on the reef crest, and light grey boxes represent the deeper receivers on the reef base. The circles around each receiver indicate the receiver’s estimated detection range.

Fig.S2 Acoustic receiver positioning at Lizard Island. Black dots indicate individual receivers. The black area represents the island and the grey shaded area represents the extent of the fringing reef in Turtle Beach and Mermaid Cove.

Fig. S3The number of potential mortality events (PMEs)versus the potential deployment duration of each fish (from release to the end of the study). Not all individuals were tagged at the start of the study period, therefore 0% indicates the date of release which is the start of the study for each individual. The maximum study length was 10 months, and the study end date was the same for all individuals at each location.
