Methods

Four 100 m transects covering different reef zones and habitats were carried out in 1977. Each transect followed a tape marked in centimeters and lying on the substrate. All species of fish seen during a 20 minute reconnaisance of the area near the tape were recorded. Then a 20-minute count was made of a all fish observed wlithin one horizontal meter of the transect line, i.e. in an area of 100 x 2 m. These same transects and methods were then repeated in 1999 as part of a larger monitoring survey of the reef communities of Agat Bay.
