Mean sizes (± 95% confidence intervals) of black lip abalone Haliotis rubra at JawboneMarine Sanctuary and Point Gellibrand reference site.5.4 FishesAt Jawbone and Point Gellibrand, nearly all fish observed were southern hulafish Trachinopscaudimaculatus. Other species, present in very low densities, were zebrafish Girella zebra,dusky morwong Dactylophora nigricans and little rock whiting Neoodax balteatus. During thefirst survey, the density of T. caudimaculatus at Jawbone was exceptionally high, 2200 per200 m 2 , with a major decrease observed in the subsequent surveys (Figure 5.5). Neoodaxbalteatus was first observed during the second survey. During the third survey lowernumbers were observed at both sites (Figure 5.5).33
