Growth models, age frequency and size frequency distributions of sea urchin populations (Heliocidaris erythrogramma) in native macroalgal beds and sea urchin barrens

Created 23/06/2025

Updated 23/06/2025

Growth models were constructed for two sea urchin populations over a two-year period using a tag-recapture study in the Mercury Passage, Tasmania. Sea urchins were tagged using tetracycline and calcein and growth models constructed using measurements taken from sea urchin jaws.
