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.

2006年至2009年间开展的野外调查已被汇编整理，旨在为宁加卢海洋公园内从北部穆伊伦群岛到南部海龟保护区的岩龙虾物种分布与丰度提供全面基线数据。所有物种的龙虾丰度均较低，但部分区域的龙虾丰度显著更高。发现龙虾的地理区域与栖息地类型因龙虾物种而异。
