  N[ote:]{.smallcaps} Results of the 5-m^2^ quadrat sampling (visual
  appraisal) of the benthic community are presented in Part I, counts of
  diurnally exposed macroinvertebrates are given in Part II, and a
  summary of the fish census is presented in Part III. Water depth ranges
  from 16.5 to 16.8 m; mean coral coverage is 3.3% (visual quadrat
  method).
