Statement

Surveys of fish abundance, size distribution and (in some cases) feeding behaviour were conducted using SCUBA divers and underwater video. Fish counts were conducted in control (unmanipulated) plots of rocky reef, and in plots subject to various levels of kelp canopy clearance from human or biological disturbances. Reef habitat type and fisheries management constraints for sampled areas was also recorded.
