WAMSI Node 3.2.2d - Ecosystem Effects of fishing on Ningaloo Reef: Exploited Lagoon Invertebrates

Field surveys undertaken between 2006 and 2009 have been compiled to provide an extensive baseline of the distribution and abundance of rock lobster species from the Muiron Islands in the north to Turtles sanctuary in the south of Ningaloo Marine Park. The abundance of lobsters of all species were low, however there were regions that held significantly higher abundances of lobsters. The geographic regions and habitats types in which lobsters were found varied with lobster species.
