Abstract
Algal and invertebrate assemblages resident on abalone (Haliotis midae) shells at two subtidal locations in the western Cape of South Africa were investigated. Forty medium-sized (linear length 10 - 20 cm) abalone were harvested (along with forty complementary rock-face quadrat samples) from one site at Cape Point and two sites at Gansbaai and the resident species were identified and statistically compared.
