PROJECT SPOTLIGHT

Habitat quality as a driver of fisheries productivity on macroalgal reefs

Macroalgae meadows are an important component of coastal marine ecosystems, where they are primary producers that underpin entire food webs, and also provide complex habitat for many other species, including fish targeted for harvest fisheries. Recent research has found that tropical Sargassum spp. canopy biomass is closely linked to sea temperature.
