Mean sizes (± 95% confidence intervals) of black lip abalone Haliotis rubra at Point CookeMarine Sanctuary and RAAF Base reference site.4.5 FishesThe southern hulafish Trachinops caudimaculatus was one of the most abundant fishspecies at Point Cooke and RAAF Base. Other typical species were little rock whitingNeoodax balteatus, southern goatfish Upeinichthys vlaminghii and small unidentified fishes(probably post-larval stages). There were occasional sightings of banjo ray Trygonorrhinafasciata, zebrafish Girella zebra, moonlighter Tilodon sexfasciatus, dusky morwongDactylophora nigricans and globefish Diodon nichthemerus.During the first survey large numbers of the southern hulafish, Trachinops caudimaculatus,were observed at both sites, however in the subsequent surveys few individuals were seen(Figure 4.5). There was a low number of little rock whiting Neoodax balteatus observedduring the first survey and higher numbers seen in subsequent surveys (Figure 4.5).26
