This report describes changes in the benthic communities of Spirits Bay (Piwhane) in relation to fishing pressure and environmental factors. Data were analysed from surveys in 2006 and 2010. Epifaunal and infaunal community data consistently identified year, habitat, depth and fishing effects. Species responses to explanatory terms were examined. Species identified here as most sensitive to fishing had previously been identified as sensitive on the basis of life history and morphology.
