Biological structure of an Agulhas Bank subtidal reef community and consumption estimation for a dominant species
Bibliography: leaves 69-81. === This thesis reports on an investigation into some aspects affecting and contributing to the flow of organic matter through a subtidal reef environment. In particular, the contribution of Porifera to the organic matter pool in terms of biomass and the consumption of or...
