This study describes the community structure of mac roinvertebrates inhabiting a crustose coralline com munity in a rocky subtidal habitat off the coast of Maine.

In this context, the examples mentioned have developed regulated selective fishing or experimental removals practices in order to control key dominant species and avoid drastic …

Jan 1, 2013 · Sea urchins may be the single most important consumer affecting shallow marine communities worldwide. Vast seagrass beds and kelp forests have been de…

Green sea urchins are found in shallow, rocky subtidal zones, where they graze on kelp, algae, and small invertebrates. Harvesting seasons vary year to year. Check in with Maine …

The rocky subtidal zone along the Maine coast is dominated by what is called a "crustose coralline community", which is characterized by relatively low plant production.

ABSTRACT Ecosystem structure and function of temperate rocky reef habitats are subject to change as a result of food-web modification, climate change, and changes in biological …

Characteristically, kelp forest organisms and sea urchins are probably the most con- communities are highly productive and structurally spicuous and prevalent communities of rocky subtidal …

To test whether substrate angle affects epifaunal community structure we compared diversity and cov-erage of subtidal sessile invertebrates on vertical ver-sus horizontal rock surfaces at …

Apr 12, 2024 · Sea urchins, particularly the Green sea urchin (Strongylocentrotus droebachiensis), thrive in the rocky seabeds that are abundant along Maine’s coast. These …
