Biological synopsis of the lacy crust bryozan (Membranipora membranacea) / by M. Burridge.: Fs97-4/3006E-PDF
"Marine ecosystems are being impacted at an accelerated rate from human-induced species introductions (Ruiz et al. 2000). The ability to assess and mitigate effects on ecosystems is often difficult due to the lack of knowledge of the ecosystem prior to invasion, the behaviour, physiology, and population dynamics of the invasive species is often poorly understood, and patterns and mechanisms of invasion are lacking (Scheibling and Gagnon 2009). Assessing the risk of potential aquatic invasive species is one of the mandates for Fisheries and Oceans Canada's Centre of Expertise for Aquatic Risk Assessment (CEARA). Lacy Crust, or Coffin Box, (Membranipora membranacea) has been identified as a species of concern and a biological synopsis is a first step in the process. … A biological synopsis of Lacy Crust, including its description, distribution, biology, natural history, and known impacts are presented in this report. Areas where information is lacking are identified"--Introduction, pages 1, 2.
