Relative frequency distribution of lobster traps with depth for each day that lobster traps were surveyed (Tl = opening day of season, 5 Oct 2005; T2 = 26 Oct 20005; T3 = 11 Jan 2006; T4 = 15 Mar 2006). days of sampling. The distribution of traps on T3 was the most different among the days but was still significantly correlated. The distribution of habitat value for lobster, derived from SCUBA survey data, is shown in Figure 4. Habitat values are relative to the best-observed habitat for spiny lobste

Relative frequency distribution of lobster traps with depth for each day that lobster traps were surveyed (Tl = opening day of season, 5 Oct 2005; T2 = 26 Oct 20005; T3 = 11 Jan 2006; T4 = 15 Mar 2006). days of sampling. The distribution of traps on T3 was the most different among the days but was still significantly correlated. The distribution of habitat value for lobster, derived from SCUBA survey data, is shown in Figure 4. Habitat values are relative to the best-observed habitat for spiny lobsters within the kelp forest. Habitat values for each box were computed as average of habitat affinity among band transects conducted within each box. Kelp forest habitat extends into the Reserve in an area approximately the size of one box and is located next to the western boundary. The habitat within this area is mostly composed of "red turf reefs", which has the highest lobster affinity. The results of the moving window correlation analysis of fishing effort distri- bution and habitat affinity are shown in Figure 5. The distribution of fishing effort Table 3. Matrix of correlation coefficients of trap distributions among days and average box depth. All correlations are significant (p<) except for the correlation of T3 with depth.
