Marine invertebrate epibionts on photophilic seaweeds: importance of algal architecture
The macrofauna of marine invertebrates of two photophilic algal communities on the Maresme coast (Barcelona, NE Spain) were studied. We evaluated how the type of algal substrate (soft or hard thallus algae) af...
