This study investigated the algal density and growth, photophysiology and contribution of algae to animal respiration requirements (CZAR), in the symbiosis between the sea anemone Anthopleura aureoradiata and its dinoflagellate ...

Carbon-13 is a relatively understudied geochemical property in the world ocean. The Southwest Pacific, in particular, is devoid of δ¹³C data. This thesis therefore has two main objectives: to create a model to describe the ...
