Title

Epibiosis in Paramuricea clavata after mortality events in the Ligurian Sea

Abstract

A population of the gorgonian Paramuricea clavata (Cnidaria), heavily damaged by two mortality events, was studied in the Ligurian Sea for three years (2004-2006). Composition, diversity and position of epibionts on the gorgonian colonies were analysed. Encrusting and erect bryozoans were the best space competitors on apical, median and basal portions of damaged gorgonian colonies.
