Figure 1. A in The den ecology and the effects of fishing pressure on the distribution of Octopus cyanea (Octopodidae: Mollusca) in Rodrigues lagoon, Rodrigues, Mauritius

Figure 1. A map of the geographical location of the island of Rodrigues showing the four protected areas in the north and north west (solid lines) and the approximate area of Ile aux Fous (nonprotected, dotted line).

Figure 3. A in The den ecology and the effects of fishing pressure on the distribution of Octopus cyanea (Octopodidae: Mollusca) in Rodrigues lagoon, Rodrigues, Mauritius

Figure 3. A schematic diagram of a transect set-up and the search path that was used for recording the octopus dens and the invertebrate benthos. The blue circle indicates the position of the painted rock, a marker to allow a second transect within 100 m of the first one to be measured. The dashed lines show the position of the outer tape measures which marked out the sample area, the small arrows show the direction each surveyor looked either side of the inner belt transect (2 m either side), the red lines show the position of the inner three transects that were used for recording, the long arrows show the direction each surveyor swam along each transect and the small numbers show the distance along the bottom tape measure that the three inner transects were placed.

Figure 5. Figure with the average plus standard error of the number of counted holes per region for the first sampling occasion (a) and the second sampling occasion(b). White = Area 1 (Ile aux Fous), stripes = Area 2 (Anse aux Anglais), black = Area 3 (Grand Bassin).

Figure 2. A in The den ecology and the effects of fishing pressure on the distribution of Octopus cyanea (Octopodidae: Mollusca) in Rodrigues lagoon, Rodrigues, Mauritius

Figure 2. A map of the 12 survey locations within the Rodrigues lagoon, with labels for each station number (square = stations 1A-1D, stars = stations 2A-2D, triangles = stations 3A-3D). The grey dashed line shows the edge of the fringing lagoon. The sites were chosen based on specific coral biotopes as determined during ground-truthing surveys (Turner and Chapman 2004) The location of the Shoals Rodrigues base centre is shown to illustrate that the sites were also chosen because of proximity to the base.

Figure 4. The total number of octopus observed per station in the lagoon over the course of two different sampling periods with a 23-day gap between sampling; 1 = Ile aux Fous (moderate fishing pressure), 2 = Anse aux Anglais (high fishing pressure) and 3 = Grand Bassin (low fishing pressure).
