Effects of Grazing, Canopy Cover and Substratum Type on the Abundances of Common Species of Seaweeds Inhabiting Littoral Fringe Tide Pools

Experimental manipulations were used to differentiate the effects of grazing, Fucus distichus canopy cover and the presence of Hildenbrandia rubra on the recruitment density of F. distichus and the cover abundance of ephemeral algae
