Surveys of the distribution of holothurians were conducted on 2 inshore reefs (Pandora and Phillips), 2 mid-shelf reefs (John Brewer and Rib) and two outer-shelf reefs (Myrmidon and Dip) during September/October 1982.

On the inshore reefs a single reef zone was examined. For mid-shelf and outer-shelf reefs, three zones were sampled; the outer reef flat, the inner reef flat and the leeward bommies.

Surveys were carried out at night at depths of <10m. Five belt transects (100m x 4m) were surveyed within each reef zone of the mid- and outer-shelf reefs. For the inshore reefs, 10 belt transects were surveyed at Pandora Reef and 5 transects were surveyed at Phillips Reef. All holothuroids within each transect were recorded, as well as the substrate type within each 5m interval along the transect.
