| Abstract: | "The distribution and ecology of marine bryozoans of the Indian River area on the east coast of Florida was studied through collections made at 21 stations over the course of a year. Bryozoans were identified from collections of all substrata (e.g., shells, hydroids, algae, rock, seagrasses) on which colonies might be able to grow. Eighty-four species of bryozoans have been obtained thus far from the waters of the Indian River region. All collections indicated that the availability of a suitable substratum is the chief factor governing distribution of bryozoan species. In the river the main substrata are the relatively short-lived blades of seagrasses on which small, rapidly growing bryozoan species are found. Eighteen species were found in the Indian River; 12 of them in waters of salinities less than 30% (estuarine conditions). Coastal stations, with more varied substrata available for settlement and with a wider range of microenvironmental conditions, were richer in species. Twenty-... |
