. Atoll research bulletin. Coral reefs and islands; Marine biology; Marine sciences. 91 (open-water) side of the reef and eagle-rays, moray eels, butterfly, squirrel, surgeon, damsel, surmullet, puffer, and file fishes on the lagoon side. The southern reef area was not examined but a large shark population was thought to exist in the open water; fish species were believed to be fewer in number and variety here, compared to the northern reef area. The bank shoals or lagoon area was characterized by: moray eels, wrasse, parrot, coronet, surgeon, butterfly, squirrel, damsel, and puffer fishes in the patch reef portion; flounders, blennies, surmullet, pompano, puffers, pomacentrids, stingrays, and triggerfishes in the sandy areas; and trumpet, parrot, damsel, pompano, trigger, and butterfly fishes in the wreckage or dump area to the southwest of Johnston Island. As part of an extensive study on the effects of dredging at Johnston, Brock, et at. (1965) studied the distribution and abundance of 75 species at nine localities within the lagoon during August 1963 to June 1964 (Fig. 36). Areas 1, 2, and 4 were near the marginal reef. Figure 36.
