Table 1 Taxa composition and contribution to SIMPROF generated organism assemblages (OA) present at 3–6 m and 9–11 m depth over rocky bottom: Average Abundance (Av. Abundance) based on Untransformed data; Average Similarity (Av. Sim.) and Individual (Ind. Cont.) and Cumulative (Cum. Cont.) Taxa Contribution (%), based on Square rooted transformed data.
