| Consider for a moment, if you will, the exquisitely delicate hues of this astoundingly lovely tunicate. |
|
| This year, the team surveyed a larger area with tunicate coverage. |
|
| An alternative theory is that the ancestor was like a tunicate and that the other two subphyla arose by modification of the tadpole larva. |
|
| It gets its tunicate name from its thick skin which is compared to a tunic. |
|
| A free-swimming tunicate larva metamorphoses into an attached, sessile adult with an atrium that surrounds the gills. |
|
| The tunicate larva has special organs of sense and attachment, which it uses to find and occupy a suitable habitat. |
|
| Results of this research should ensure evidence based decision making for managing the tunicate problem and its mode of treatment. |
|
| In areas where the tunicate has established itself very well has had a terrific effect. |
|
| There are several species of tunicate in the coastal waters of the Maritime provinces. |
|
| Five species have been observed in Canada, including the clubbed tunicate, as shown in the photo. |
|
| Monitoring will continue to determine whether the tunicate has established to the point of repopulating the affected area and spreading. |
|
| Tunicates can overgrow sea scallops and mussels, and they may affect other species of clams and worms that live in the seabed below the tunicate colony. |
|
| What we found out was that this tunicate is very susceptible to fluid transport. |
|
| Purpose: These protocols are designed to minimize the risk of transfer of a new tunicate species to unaffected waters or contributing to the spread of established species with product movement. |
|
| This type of asexual sociality forms the colonoids of sponges, coelenterates, bryozoans, hemichordates, and tunicate chordates, all of which were primitively small, sessile filter feeders. |
|
| In January 2002, various species of algae, sponge, hydroid and tunicate colonies were scraped from the south jetty during an extremely low tide. |
|
| Sydney's most common tunicate, cunjivoy, is an icon. There are even poems about the stoic cunji! |
|
| Similarly, 25 mesh screening assists in the removal of colonial tunicate species, but may be ineffective in containing fragments which have the potential to regenerate into new colonies. |
|
| The tunicate heart is unusual in that it periodically reverses the direction in which it pumps the blood, but the reasons for this behaviour are unknown. |
|
| The spread and establishment of the clubbed tunicate into other mussel growing areas of PEI, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and Quebec could have devastating effects. |
|
|
|
| The violet tunicate and golden star tunicate, unlike the solitary clubbed tunicate, are colonial and thus considered a greater fouling challenge for the mussel industry. |
|
| What we are trying to do along with the treatment is look at management practices that will help decrease the effect of the tunicate on the mussel productivity. |
|
| Find information on oyster thief, clubbed tunicate, and green crab, all invasive species in the aquatic environment of the southern Gulf of St. Lawrence. |
|
| Whether the ancestral chordate was more like a cephalochordate or a tunicate is debatable, because features absent in tunicates could mean that they never have been present or could mean that they have been lost. |
