Temperate Australian quantitative spatial and temporal abundance data for rocky reef biota (biodiversity): Althorpe Islands and Yorke Peninsula

Created 13/03/2025

Updated 13/03/2025

The data is quantitative abundance of fish and megafaunal invertebrates and algal % cover derived from transect based counts at a wide range of locations across Temperate Australia. The methods are described in detail in Edgar and Barrett (1997). Primarily the data are derived from transects at 5 m depth and/or 10 m depth at each site surveyed. Methods were initially developed for research on temporal changes following protection in Tasmanian MPAs (Maria Is, Tinderbox, Ninepin Point, Governor Island). The data represented by this record was collected in MPA studies and surveys interstate, and was collected from Althorpe Islands and Yorke Peninsula.(SA). In many cases the dataset involved temporal replication (year scale).
