The abundance and size composition of paua from the southern part of the proposed reserve were similar to adjacent populations (Catlins north and south Otago). The abundance of juvenile paua from the southern part of the proposed reserve was significantly greater than that of adjacent populations. The results did not permit an assessment of likely sustainable harvests for paua UR - https://www.doc.govt.nz/globalassets/documents/science-and-technical/casn94.pdf UR - https://www.doc.govt.nz/globalassets/documents/science-and-technical/casn94a.pdf ER -
