The Evaluation of the Chain Link Method of Measuring the Area of Corals

Zacchini L. 1986. The Evaluation of the Chain Link Method of Measuring the Area of Corals. School for Field Studies: Virgin Islands Ecological Research Station

I evaluated the chain link method of measurements on coral species located on 5 transects in Greater Lameshur Bay, St. John, USVI. I found that there was a source of error between transects B and C. There was also significant difference between the percent of Montastrea annularis between transects and in the absolute length of Montastrea annularis between transects.
