Primi risultati della sperimentazione di un nuovo strumento per stimare la densità della microalga bentonica Chrysophaeum taylorii Lewis e Bryan.

In the summer months of 2009 the brush sampler, a new sampling device recently presented as a tool for epilithic community analyses in lakes and streams, was tested on marine hard substrata in Tavolara Punta Coda Cavallo Marine Protected Area. The aim was to verify if it could be useful also to estimate the cell density of the benthic marine microalga Chrysophaeum taylorii Lewis & Bryan (Pelagophyceae).
