Substantial reduction of epiphyte biomass by grazing epifauna is widespread in seagrass systems, and a hypothesized effect is enhanced vigour of the host seagrasses. Effects of epiphyte grazing on seagrass growth and biomass were tested using cultures of the sub-tropical seagrass Halodule wrightii Aschers. established with and without the epiphyte-grazing fauna of local seagrass beds of the Indian River Lagoon, Florida, U.S.A.
