Preface
The Australian Institute of Marine Science’s Long-term Monitoring Program monitors benthic communities, reef fish abundance, crown-of-thorns starfish populations and water quality parameters on an annual basis. Both reef fish and benthic communities are monitored on selected reefs along permanently marked transects.
This Standard Operational Procedure is Volume 3 in an ongoing series, produced by the Long-term Monitoring Program at the Australian Institute of Marine Science. It details the standard procedure used to estimate reef fish abundance along these permanent transects. Training protocols and data management procedures are also detailed.
