Over het archief
Het OWA, het open archief van het Waterbouwkundig Laboratorium heeft tot doel alle vrij toegankelijke onderzoeksresultaten van dit instituut in digitale vorm aan te bieden. Op die manier wil het de zichtbaarheid, verspreiding en gebruik van deze onderzoeksresultaten, alsook de wetenschappelijke communicatie maximaal bevorderen.
Dit archief wordt uitgebouwd en beheerd volgens de principes van de Open Access Movement, en het daaruit ontstane Open Archives Initiative.

| Abstract |
The introduction of hard substrata in the mainly sandy environment of the Belgian part of the North Sea provides a new habitat to species that could previously not establish in the area. The community is dominated by the amphipod Jassa herdmani, the hydroids Tubularia larynx and T. indivisa and Actiniaria species, of which the plumose anemone Metridium senile is the most dominant. Only few species, especially those arriving early in the colonization process, are able to establish a viable population. The vertical foundations and the complex three-dimensional structure of the scour protection harbour different fouling communities. |
