Hi All Coral-listers,
I am having problems in trying to distinguish holes made by urchins
on my experimental substrate. I am trying to do point-count using a
software and don't know what actually to look for.
There are grooves as well as holes on the substrate. This substrate
was brought in from the field after 3 months of urchin exposure. I
have to do the point count inorder to assess the %grazed
and/or bored. Hence, take these values to work out the bioerosion
rates of the slabs.
I wonder if dyeing the slabs would be of any help.
Your immediate assistance will be appreciated.
Subhashni Appana.
