Si bien la tendencia general de las capturas de abulón indica una disminución de las dos principales especies que la conforman (Haliotis fulgens y H corrugata), a partir de su máximo histórico en 1950, esta tendencia no ha sido uniforme ni entre especies ni entre las regiones de donde se extrae.

  • Turf Assemblage of a Macrocystis Kelp Forest: Experiments On
    AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF A. Keith Miles for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Wildlife Science presented on June 16. 1986. Title: A m Macrosti t° Ex nmen n and Herbivory. Redacted for privacy Abstract approved: E. Charles Meslow Early and later successional stages of the assemblage of turf algae and sessile animals of a Macrocystis kelp forest were studied off San Nicolas Island, California from 1980 through 1981, and 1983 through 1984. Kelps were manipulated to determine if differences in illumination could account for dominance by turf algae or sessile animals. Caging and algal-removal experiments were conducted to determine if the effects of herbivory and competition could account for the low or variable recruitment and abundance of foliose turf algae. Plots were covered for different time intervals up to 1 year to determine if survival of overgrowth could explain the prevalence of competitively subordinate crustose coralline algae. Increased cover and recruitment of turf algae and decreased cover and low recruitment of sessile animals were correlated with the removal of canopy. In the presence of canopy, existing cover of crustose algae and sessile animalschanged little over time; sessile animals recruited at significantly higher levels thanalgae on cleared plots. Patiria (a common invertebrate grazer) removed certain ephemeral algae and appeared to slow recruitment by other algae, but had little effect on mature turf algae. These effects appeared dependent on a high density of Patiria. Algal recruitment on caged and open, near-bare plots was negligible, but sessile animals recruited heavily to these plots. These results were correlated with low illumination caused by a dense and persistent surface canopy of Macrocystis.

PCAS was founded in 1961 by a group of avocational archaeologists dedicated to the study and preser- vation of the anthropological and archaeological history of the original inhabitants of Orange County, California, and adjacent areas. The PCAS Publications Committee invites the submittal of original contributions dealing with the history and prehistory of the area. Although PCAS is especially interested in reports which shed further light on the early inhabitants of Orange County, it is always interested in reports on the wider Pacific Coast region. Information about subscriptions to the Pacific Coast Archaeological Society Quarterly and the PCAS Newslet- ter is available online at www.pcas.org. Back issues of the Pacific Coast Archaeological Society Quarterly are available. Three Occasional Papers, on Catalina Island, Mexican Majolica, and the Peralta Adobe, have also been published by PCAS.
