Ascidians as models for studying invasion success (2015, background): “In addition, invasive ascidians compete with cultured species for food by reducing plankton from the water column and space by biofouling in aquaculture facilities (Petersen 2007; Ramsay et al. 2008; Lutz-Collins et al. 2009; Adams et al. 2011; Rius et al. 2011).”
Bivalve cultures provide habitat for exotic tunicates in southern Brazil. (2009, background): “Tunicates are commonly an important part of the community associated with bivalves and while they do not compete with bivalves for food (Lesser et al. 1992; Petersen 2007 ), they can compete for substrate space and may even cause bivalve mortality by growing over them (Igic 1972).”
The impact and control of biofouling in marine aquaculture: a review (2012, background): “These organisms have very similar clearance rates and as such food competition may be substantial (Petersen 2007).”
Food web structure of a restored macroalgal bed in the eastern Korean peninsula determined by C and N stable isotope analyses (2008, background): “Ascidians and sponges have a nonselective feeding mechanism and favorably consume small organic particles such as nanoplankton or bacteria (Pile et al. 1996; Bone et al. 2003; Petersen 2007 ).”
