Summary -- Introduction -- Materials and methods -- Results -- General observations -- Relative abundance and size composition -- Discussion -- Conclusions -- Acknowledgements -- References -- Figures -- Appendix: Data from surveys of paua in the proposed marine reserve area off Nugget Point (10 February 1994) with explanatory notes.
Summary: A survey of paua (Haliotis iris) conducted in the proposed marine reserve off Nugget Point showed that paua were common only in the southern part of the proposed reserve, probably because of the greater availability of habitat compared with the northern part. 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.
