摘要: Acrylic panels were employed to follow fouling community development at Channel Points, Lynnhaven Bay, Virginia, from April 1977 through March 1979. Panel treatments devised study the effects of predator exclusion and panel area on development. An additional was introduced in 1978 test repeatability initial Early similar both years with hydroids, barnacles, polychaetePolydora ligni macroinvertebrate colonists. dominated by solitary tunicateMolgula manhattensis.
