Relative effects of sea urchins and fish on adult and recruiting macroalgae at Mewstone, south-western Australia

Created 23/06/2025

Updated 23/06/2025

An experiment was conducted over 13 months to test whether sea urchins and herbivorous fishes exert additive effects on the macroalgal assemblage. Specific predictions were that there would be effects on the biomass and species composition of the algal assemblages growing on the reef.
