Distribution and abundance of larval fishes in One Tree Island Lagoon, Capricorn Bunker Group, Great Barrier Reef

Created 23/06/2025

Updated 23/06/2025

Light traps were attached to paired moorings at each of nine sites in One Tree Island lagoon. More than 1200 samples of fish and zooplankton were taken and fish identified to species level. Sampling was done monthly over two consecutive summers (1993/94 and 1994/95). Simultaneous measurements of tidal flushing were also made. Light traps were anchored at sites inside the One Tree Island lagoon to match the locations of benthic recruitment surveys, which were being conducted at the same time.
