Abstract

Estimates of per capita sea urchin (Strongylocentrotus polyacanthus) grazing rates on the alga Clathromorphum nereostratum, evaluated as a function of seawater temperature and pCO2 concentration that each were simultaneously cultured in for three months. Incubations and assays were performed in a controlled mesocosm setting.
