(a) Variation of recorded species richness among sites.
(b) Abundance distribution (log) of the 21 most common (>1% of total species occurrences) species encountered in all transects ranked by their relative contribution to total intercept. The species constributing most to total intercept was Porites lutea (Table 1). No significant differences (X2 = 2.6, df = 15, p>0.25) (c) Size distribution of individual intercepts. No significant differences (X2 = 0.14, df = 18, p>0.25).
