| Abstract (english) | To develop a tool for reducing the risk of Fucus virsoides extinction, we tested the feasibility of restoration and designed a very simple yet effective method for ex-situ cultivation and planting. We also tested the effect of zonation (positioning on the upper vs lower intertidal) on the growth of F. virsoides. After planting, the algae reached fertility in 9 months which was followed by a period of stagnation and reduction in size due to grazing and fouling. This dataset includes raw... More |
| Methods (english) | Pre-planting growth was monitored using macro photography (Olympus TG-6) and ImageJ. Post-planting growth was measured in-situ using a ruler. Cover was was estimated from top-down photographs of planted plots. |
