Maria Island mussel and microphytobenthic algal data
The recruitment of mussels and microphytobenthic (MPB) algae to 28 experimental artificial reefs supporting different patch sizes and density of kelp (Ecklonia radiata) off Maria Island, Tasmania. The recruitment of mussels was assessed using rope fibre habitats, and the recruitment of MPB algae was assessed using microscope slides, positioned across the artificial reef and collected in November 2015. These data were collected to examine how the patch size and density of kelp influences the establishment of MPB algae and mussels.

- Statement
- The experimental reefs were constructed from concrete pavers elevated 0.3 m above sandy substratum on a steel frame. The 28 reefs comprised seven different patch sizes (0.12, 0.24, 0.48, 1.08, 1.92, 4.32 and 7.68 m2) crossed with four kelp density treatments (zero (0), low (4.1), medium (8.3) and high (16.6 kelp m-2). Microphytobenthic algal recruitment were assessed by using microscope slides positioned on the substratum of each reef, deployed from October to November 2015. Recruitment of mussels was assessed using standardised rope fibre habitats positioned on each reef, deployed from May to November 2015.
