Appendix 2: Modelled reef fish abundance and distri bution The following 37 figures for individual species are arranged by increasing order of maximum abundance in the Taranaki region. Data are estimated abundance in 1 km2 grid squares. Note that on the scale provided 0 = absent, 1 = single (1 individual seen per 1 hr dive), 2 = few (2 – 10), 3 = many (11 – 100) and 4 = abundant (> 100).
