This study compared the presence/absence of marine fishes and mammals at 10 different sites in the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary. We tested for differences in marine vertebrate communities at different water sampling depths and whether a station was located on the shelf or in a canyon on Monterey Bay. We also compared OTUs identified in biological triplicates.
