Microhabitat
associated with two species of sponges more abundant inside closed area; no S
differences for six other microhabitat types. |

Analysis
of still photos and video imagery inside and outside area closed to trawls,
dredges, longlines, and gill nets 4.5 yr after it was closed. |

S effect of high fishing effort on numbers of infaunal or epifaunal species
or individuals; in high-effort areas there were: 1) a lower reduced abundance
of larger, less mobile, and emergent epifauna; 2) a higher abundance of more
epifauna; and 3) fewer high-biomass species of epifauna and infauna; infauna
in deeper coarse-medium sand habitat most affected by fishing. |

Compared
benthic communities in areas of high, medium, and low fishing effort by fixed
and mobile gears; each area with three sites (shallow, fine sand, deep medium
sand, and deep coarse-medium sand). |
