In December 1993, visual census surveys were conducted on three midshelf reefs (Rib Reef, John Brewer Reef and Lodestone Reef) and three outershelf reefs (Myrmidon Reef, Dip Reef and Bowl Reef) in the central Great Barrier Reef region.At each of the 6 reefs, surveys were conducted within 3 zones: the windward reef slopes; the lagoon; and the leeward back reef. Each census consisted of a 45 minute swim (on SCUBA) through a zone, recording the total number of each of the target species within approximately 5 m either side of the diver. All target species were surveyed simultaneously. Three replicate non-overlapping censuses, each covering a distance of approximately 400 m, were made in each zone on each reef.Census dives on the windward reef slope were unidirectional, consisting of a meandering swim from the reef crest to a depth of 12 m. In the lagoon and on the back reef, the paths were roughly unidirectional, meandering between bommies and coral outcrops to depths of 2-8 m and 12 m respectively.
