dc.description.abstractSeveral species of Membranipora commonly occur on brown and red algae. It is currently believed that these bryozoans could affect growth of the host plant by modifying incident light. In the present study, we report on the changes that occur in both intensity and quality of light passing through colonies of M. tuberculata (Bosc.) and on the effects of bryozoans on growth of the host plant. M. tuberculata decreases photon-flux density by up to 56% of the incident light and slightly affects the quality of the incident light. Although the bryozoan reduces the photosynthetic rate of Gelidium rex Santelices et Abbott, it does not have a net effect on algal growth. It is concluded that the effects of epifauna on algal growth depend on the nature of the algal structure colonized. Therefore, it cannot be predicted a priori that encrusted thalli should grow at a slower rate than nonencrusted thalli.
