Density and size structure of Holothuria nobilis populations were surveyed in the main area of fishing effort on the Great Barrier Reef. Surveys were carried out for most reefs on three trips between August 1999 and January 2000, Hicks and Davie reefs were surveyed in October 1998.

Density data were collected from 16 reefs open to fishing, 4 closed to fishing and 4 reefs with open and closed zones.

Size structure of the population was obtained by measuring the body weight of 18-71 animals from each of 6 reefs open to fishing, 3 closed to fishing and 2 reefs with open and closed zones. Animals were weighed to the nearest 50 g.

The habitat was recorded: reef flats (the main habitat), fore- and back reefs.
