Investigation of community composition on abalone (Haliotis midae) shells at two sites in the Western Cape, South Africa

Algal and invertebrate assemblages resident on abalone (Haliotis midae) shells at two subtidal locations in the western Cape of South Africa were investigated. Forty medium-sized (linear length 10 - 20 cm) abalone were harvested (along with forty complementary rock-face quadrat samples) from one site at Cape Point and two sites at Gansbaai and the resident species were identified and statistically compared.
