In a <strong>study</strong> assessing the conservation of reef fishes in Victoria Colton and Swearer (2009;<br />
2010) observed 63 species of fish found around the points of Squeaky Beach, Norman and<br />
Oberon Bays. They regard seven, as species of concern as they are numerically and<br />
spatially rare at the state level (Table 8). Sphyraena novaehollandiae, Latris lineate and<br />
Dactylophora nigricans are targeted by fishing threat outside MPAs (Colton and Swearer<br />
2010).<br />
