In October 1992 ten days were spent at Scott Reef, three at Seringapatam and two days at each of the Rowley Shoals. Fish population censuses for a number of major reef fish families were carried out by trained divers during 45 minute SCUBA swims at a number of outer reef-slope and lagoon sites. Counts of snappers, emperors and cods were also made at lagoon sites. Additionaly lists of all species of fish observed at each site were compiled. Additional fish counts were also made using standardised counting methods developed for long-term monitoring of fish populations in the Great Barrier Reef.
