Abstract: The effects of five different cubic artificial reef models on behavior and distribution of juvenile schlegel＇ s rockfish （ Sebastes schlegeli Hilgendorf） were studied. The results showed that the juvenile distribution ratio of zero was found in the marked region（ the region where the reef model put in） when there was no reef model. The juveniles prefer weak light region to perch when the five kinds of reef models were put in the center of the tank, each of which showed a distinct preference in the marked area with distribution ratio of 56. 7% to 90%. Variance analysis showed that there was no significant difference in the attractive effect of the 5 kinds of fish reef models, and the fish had obvious gather - taxis reaction to the fish reef model of different structure.
