DOI: 10.1007/s10750-018-3615-y
Abstract: In coastal areas with a high intensity of human activities, expansion of artificial structures may enhance Aurelia spp. blooms because these constructions may provide additional substrates for the settlement and proliferation of the polyps. In… read more here.
