Station lat/longs calculated by sketching on chart and use of parallel rules. Dive depths are estimated by SCUBA divers, chart depths are subsequently estimated from charts. Where two depths are given the sea level (upper) is taken as the approximate chart depth and the sea level (lower) is taken as the diver depth. Hand cores collected by divers. Combined abundance for 5 cores/stn. Cores - 5cm diameter, c. 15-20cm deep. Sieved using 0.5mm mesh.
