Runde habitat and fish place 2002 – 2006 by Hartvig Christie, Norwegian Institute for Water Research (NIVA)
Summary
High densities of fish established quickly (days), and attached organisms were established after a few weeks. After the first years, the reefs now support a community of macro algae, invertebrates and fish that is clearly richer than the surrounding bottom area.

Abstract from the main conclusions test project are
The reefs within six months of their initial deployment had already demonstrated their ability to form an impressively good habitat for colonization of a wide range of species of sessile benthic organisms, including corals, molluscs (e.g. shellfish crustaceans such as crabs, pectinid bivalves, and nudibranch gastropods), sea squirts, barnacles and anemones. Additionally, many species of fish—several of which are otherwise almost exclusively associated with natural biogenic (e.g. coral) reefs—were clearly attracted by the reefs for foraging and refuge. Up to the present time (i.e. 26 months since the project start), this positive impression has been further strengthened.
