Caulerpa taxifolia in Moreton Bay
Figure 21. Maximum leaf length responses of
three seagrass species, A: Cymodocea serrulata;
B: Syringodium isoetifolium; and C: Zostera
capricorni to three different concentrations of
Caulerpa taxifolia extract (error = 1 standard
error of the mean). Different letters at the end of
the graph (a, b, c) indicate a significant difference
(p < 0.05) according to the repeated measures
ANOVA conducted for each of the three species.
