Focussed habitat sampling of macrohabitats (defined by bottom type, soft hard or rough) in Gabo and Howe Reef mesohabitats (key study areas presenting a variety of shelf habitats describd by fishers) using fish traps from a commercial vessel. Traps were deployed and retrieved at dawn and dusk giving near equal day/night saoking times. 15 deployments (14 deployments of 5 traps, 1 deployment of 2 traps) yielded ~1 t fish.
