Based on quantitative sampling using video transects and multivariate analyses we Based on quantitative sampling Transects and video using multivariate analysis we found that there are small (hundreds of meters to few kilometers) and large scale (tens to hundreds found that there are small (few hundreds of meters to kilometers) and large scale (tens to hundreds of kilometers) spatial distribution patterns in the composition and abundance of sessile organisms. of kilometers) spatial distribution patterns in the composition and abundance of sessile organisms.
