Controlled Field Release of a Waterborne Chemical Signal Stimulates Planktonic Larvae to Settle

Settlement rates and distributions of planktonic larvae are critical determinants of population dynamics in marine and freshwater benthic communities. One the basis of the pricnciples of solute diffusion from a porous material, chemical-releasing collectors (CRCs) were engineered and tested in an es...

Summary:Settlement rates and distributions of planktonic larvae are critical determinants of population dynamics in marine and freshwater benthic communities. One the basis of the pricnciples of solute diffusion from a porous material, chemical-releasing collectors (CRCs) were engineered and tested in an estuary.
