Changes in food web structure and energy flow in kelp forest ecosystems on the south-west coast of South Africa following the invasion of Jasus lalandii by Steyn, Clara

“…This study concluded that a reduction in fishing pressure on abalone and reef fish, and the removal of rock lobster through increased fishing pressure, would allow the post-invasion ecosystem to partially recover to the pre-invasion state, but not completely, suggesting a hysteresis effect. Further exploration of management strategies through model simulations is needed, including those that can account for non-trophic links.…”
