Survival and growth of sea grasses transplanted under artificial conditions
Fuss CM and Kelly JA. 1969. Survival and growth of sea grasses transplanted under artificial conditions. Bulletin of Marine Science. 19(2):351-365
Comparative survival and growth of turtle grass (Thalassia testudinum Konig) and shoal grass (Diplanthera wrir;htii Ascherson) transplanted in aquariums and through-flow sea-water tanks were observed. In aquariums, turtle grass survived 7 months and shoal grass 3% months. In tanks, turtle grass lived through an experimental period of 12 months and produced new leaves, roots, and rhizomes, but only a few shoal grass plants survived.
