Estimates of abalone (Haliotis rubra) size at emergence within the Maria Island Marine Reserve and the Mercury Passage

Fish abundance and distribution Invertebrate abundance and distribution

Estimates of blacklip abalone (Haliotis rubra) size at emergence were obtained from surveys of ten sites within the Mercury Passage on Tasmania's east coast.

Size at emergence estimates were obtained from five populations inside the Maria Island Marine Reserve (MIMR) and at five adjacent sites where abalone harvesting occurs. The data sets includes abundance and size estimates of the main abalone predators, including the southern rock lobster (Jasus edwardsii), and competitors.
