This video was taken as part of a study into the influence of the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Zoning on fish communities of the Great Barrier Reef. Pairs of shoals and reefs, one in a Green zone (closed to fishing) and another in a Blue zone (open to all fishing) were compared using Baited Remote Underwater Video Stations (BRUVS) surveys. BRUVS were used as the habitats of interest were below diving depth (i.e. greater than 20 m).

This video was taken by the Australian Institute of Marine Science (AIMS).
