Abstract
Macrofauna associated with the invasive Rhodophyta Gracilaria vermiculophylla (Ohmi) Papenfuss was investigated along a 5-years study period in a lagoon of the Po River Delta (N-W Adriatic Sea). The architecturally complex G. vermiculophylla supported quite high species richness and diversity of associated macrofauna. The abundance of epifauna, composed primarily of amphipods, small snails, and an invasive bivalve, increased with macroalgal biomassFile in questo prodotto:
