This study assessed the influence of summer seawater temperature and shipping on the introduction, establishment, and spread of nonindigenous fouling species on both local and regional scales in coastal regions of the USA. Using photographic surveys

The colonial ascidian Didemnum vexillum has dispersed from its native Japan to many temperate coastal regions of the world, yet many features of its life history remain poorly studied. Using D. vexillum populations in the northeastern USA, several fe

The goal of this study was to quantify growth and metabolic responses of oysters to increased temperatures like those that will occur due to global warming. Impact of temperature on eastern oyster (Crassostrea virginica) shell growth and metabolism w

Feeding rates and selection of the oyster drill Urosalpinx cinerea were investigated with several long term temperature alteration experiments. Oyster drill prey selection was assessed in terms of prey (oyster) size and shell thickness. Drills fed on

Recruitment phenology, or the timing of recruitment, can have a large influence on individuals and populations by affecting their exposure to adverse environmental conditions and interspecific competition. In this study, we examined whether temperatu

Since it was first discovered in the northwest Atlantic in the late 1980s, the non-indigenous colonial ascidian Didemnum vexillum Kott, 2002 has become a common inhabitant of coastal marinas as well as deeper water sites. This species has also been f

The colonial tunicate Didemnum vexillum has recently invaded the North American coast and has the potential to cause economic and ecological damage. One potential mechanism for adult D. vexillum colonies to disperse is fragmentation and subsequent re

The response of the eastern oyster C. virginica to the presence of the oyster drill Urosalpinx cinerea was examined from July to September 2011. Several aspects of oyster growth were measured, including wet weight, shell weight, and dorsal shell area

The culture of oysters, clams, scallops, and other molluscs is collectively one of the fastest growing sectors of the domestic aquaculture industry. An inherent issue with shellfish culture methods, particularly for off-bottom culture (i.e., floating
