Highlights:

• Biomass spectra are robust indicators for examining the effects of fisheries.
• Reef fisheries often target only a subset size classes and trophic groups.
• Large-bodied top-predators are targeted most ubiquitously by fisheries.
• The breadth of exploitation is evidenced by biomass shifts in lower trophic groups.
• Multi-trophic group perspectives are necessary for managing coral reef fisheries.
