Seagrass (Zostera muelleri) areas were sampled for invertebrate/fish assemblages. Northern subtidal meadows were important fish nurseries, especially for snapper and trevally. Influence on invertebrate communities was complex and spatially variable; presence did not always equate to higher invertebrate abundance, richness or secondary production. Significant genetic differentiation indicated limited regional gene flow. A framework is provided to aid ranking seagrass meadows ecological values.
