  2. Site- and habitat-dependent variations in the diversity of polychaetes associated with golden kelp <em>Ecklonia radiata</em> holdfasts along the southeast coast of South Africa

    Site- and habitat-dependent variations in the diversity of polychaetes associated with golden kelp Ecklonia radiata holdfasts along the southeast coast of South Africa

    Item type: Journal Article • Journal: African Journal of Marine Science • Authors: N Nkohla --- Walter Sisulu University, South Africa TS Dlaza --- Walter Sisulu University, South Africa
