Barnacles (30-57%) followed by hydroids, ascidians, green mussels, tube worms (8-12%), brown mussels (5-10%), and sea anemones (10-14%) were conspicuous in the intake area. Macroalgae(15-59%), followed by barnacle(12-34%), tube worm (8-21%) and brown mussel (10-15%) were the components at st. 2, whereas st. 3 was bare except for bluegreen algal mats (100%) with few periwinkles.
