Note

The use of food and space resources were compared for three western Atlantic butterflyfishes (Chaetodon capistratus, C striatus, and C ocellatus) inhabiting the same coral reef environment near the eastern end of Grand Bahama Island. All showed significant differences in their distribution and abundance patterns within the broad framework of the reef system.
