Spatial and temporal variation in dispersal and recruitment of the kelps Macrocystis pyrifera
and Pterygophora californica and of filamentous brown algae (FBA) consisting primarily of …

Our studies of recruitment, adult numbers, and ocean hydrodynamics suggest that
recruitment of Haliotis rubra is primarily local. In three neighbouring coastal populations of …

Abstract In Galveston Bay, Texas, pier pilings within 10 m of the shore are dominated by the
American oyster Crassostrea virginica (Gmelin) while the ivory barnacle Balanus eburneus …

Investigations on intertidal mussels Mytilus edul~ s L. on an exposed rocky shore in the west
of Ireland during 1983 to 1986 revealed a settlement pattern which differs from that reported …

Predation by polyps of the scyphozoan Aurelia aurita (L.) on planula larvae of their own
species and on planulae of the scyphozoan Cjfanea capillata (L.) was studied in laboratory …

Larval settlement can play an important role in the structure of benthic communities in
shallow-water habitats. Experimental studies of settlement and colonization in the deep sea …

Counting growth increments in otoliths recently has become an accepted method of ageing
tropical fishes, however, verification is essential for each new species. In this study, growth …

An underwater venturi-suction sampler is described, suitable for sampling fauna on
structurally-complex sublittoral reefs. Abundance of juvenile Haliotis rubra was estimated …

Persistence and development of an epibiotic community occupying a temperate, marine.
subtidal rock wall was studied for 4.5 yr. Composition and abundance of the biota of …

The relationships between initial density of settling larvae, the subsequent density of
recruits, and the final density of adult colonies, were examined in the colonial ascidian …
