Macroinvertebrates associated with artificial reefs at Maria Island
The abundance of macroinvertebrates associated with 28 experimental artificial reefs supporting different patch sizes and density of kelp (Ecklonia radiata) off Maria Island, Tasmania. Macroinvertebrates were assessed by diver-based visual census conducted between November 2015 and December 2016. This data was collected to examine how the patch size and density of kelp influences the establishment of macroinvertebrate assemblages.

- 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). Macroinvertebrates were assessed by diver-based visual surveys conducted at three stages of the experiment: early (spring: November 2015), middle (autumn: March–April 2016) and late (spring: November–December 2016), approximately 11, 16 and 23 months respectively after the reefs were deployed.
