Abstract
Post-metamorphic attachment by solitary ascidian Ciona intestinalis (Linnaeus, 1767) juveniles from Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada
Highlights
Sea squirts are common marine invertebrates that occur worldwide
While effective control methods remain elusive, a growing body of literature illuminates the factors that contribute to the spread of invasive ascidians and the impact they can have on newly invaded communities
In addition to the talks and poster presentations, participants were given an ecological tour of Woods Hole fouling communities or were invited to participate in a taxonomic workshop led by Gretchen Lambert and Rosana Rocha
Summary
Sea squirts (ascidians, tunicates) are common marine invertebrates that occur worldwide. In the past 30 years, several species of invasive ascidians have become common fouling organisms globally. While effective control methods remain elusive, a growing body of literature illuminates the factors that contribute to the spread of invasive ascidians and the impact they can have on newly invaded communities. The 5th International Invasive Sea Squirt Conference (IISSC) was held at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution from October 29–31, 2014.
