Extract

Studies on the distribution of epifaunal species on their host have concentrated on those of plants, particularly laminarian algae (Fowell, 1939; Ebling, Kitching, Purchon& Bassindale, 1948; Sloane, Ebling, Kitching & Lilly, 1957; Scarratt, 1961, Ph.D. Thesis, University College of Wales, Aberystwyth; Norton, 1971), Sargassum algae (Kato et al., 1961; Nishihira, 1971; Ryland, 1974) and eel grasses (Nishihira, 1968; Nagle, 1968). Recently, however, the distributions of the animals living on ascidians Microcosmus sp. (Monniot, 1965) and the bryozoan Flustra foliacea (L.) (Stebbing, 1971) have been investigated.
