We conducted in situ surveys of fishes, corals, and other components of the reef community at 39 locations, in more than 200 hours of scientific diving. We recorded a total of 332 fish species during our expedition. Fish biomass averaged over 4 tonnes per hectare and was dominated by large groupers and trevally (jacks).
