Table S1 - Reef Fishes of Saba Bank, Netherlands Antilles: Assemblage Structure across a Gradient of Habitat Types

Fish species number across Saba Bank habitat types* as observed in roving diver surveys. Values are the number of location within each habitat type where a species was observed (8 surveys per habitat type). (*) Abbreviations for habitat types are: FR  =  fore reef; ORF  =  outer reef flat; IRF  =  inner reef flat; LSB  =  lagoon soft-bottom; LHB  =  lagoon hard-bottom. (**) Chi square test to determine the statistical significance of observed species distribution among habitat types. NS  =  not significant; (+)  =  significant at p>0.05; (++)  =  significant at p>0.01. The dagger symbol indicates a significant difference in family-level distribution among habitat types. For Acanthuridae and Balistidae, differences observed in among-habitat distribution were not significant (ns).
