Phase-shift dynamics of sea urchin overgrazing on nutrified reefs
Shifts from productive kelp beds to impoverished sea urchin barrens occur globally and represent a wholesale change to the ecology of sub-tidal temperate reefs. Although the... -
Management options to minimise formation of urchin barrens: using belt...
Belt transect surveys (50m) were used to monitor the benthic community structure through time at experimental (lobster additions/ research reserve sites or abalone diver urchin... -
Video surveys of long spined sea urchin (Centrostephanus rodgersii) barrens...
The spatial extent of C. rodgersii "barrens" was estimated by surveying rocky reef habitat with a towed underwater video system. Sampling took place at 13 regions along the east... -
