Note

Point count estimates of fish abundance were taken from a research submersible at thirty•two sites on a 0.5 km' patch reef on the Florida Middle Grounds, off the West Florida Shelf. Of the fifty species recorded, nine species were selected for total population estimates based on their behavior and visibility. Data from the individual point counts were extrapolated to the entire reef.
