* density/10m square 1 rare 1-2individual observed2 common 3 5 individuals observed3 abundant 6 10 individuals observedSmall (less than 30 cm) E.coiodes can be observed <strong>at</strong> <strong>the</strong> shallow end of <strong>the</strong> tyre reefs near <strong>the</strong>boundary to <strong>the</strong> coral reefs.Larger E. coiodes were observed <strong>at</strong> <strong>the</strong> bo<strong>at</strong> reefs and <strong>the</strong> concreteartificial reefs. The number of fish observed were smaller as <strong>the</strong> size of each individual increased<strong>at</strong> <strong>the</strong> artificial reefs. The mean number of individuals per reef type were high <strong>at</strong> <strong>the</strong> tyre reefcompared to <strong>the</strong> o<strong>the</strong>r reefs (Figure 2).Anypherodon leucogrammicus were observed to be high in number near <strong>the</strong> n<strong>at</strong>ural reefs and <strong>the</strong>tyre reefs compared to <strong>the</strong> o<strong>the</strong>r two reefs. O<strong>the</strong>r resident fish observed were Chaetodontid andSweetlips but occurrence varied from each observ<strong>at</strong>ion.(/)25.~(,)Q)0-(/)--20.!!2m 15 :J"0:~"0c10-0ci 5z~ nO.of individual~ nO.of species0~0 f..,0 ~ ~(,,0.§~ '
