INTRODUCTION Artificial reefs are man-made submerged structures that are deliberately placed on the seabed (Baine, 2001 ; Svane & Petersen, 2001 ). The establishment of artificial reefs is a measure of global importance for the management of coastal marine ecosystems (Seaman & Jensen
mainly consist of species that are typical to this habitat and community compositions often differ from those found on coral reefs nearby. Heterogeneity in species distributions be- tween locations and within locations between roots is often reported. This study quantifi es the diversity and abundance
