Ecological impact: benthic-pelagic interaction (De Montaudouin et al. 1999; Lesser et al. 1992; Eno et al. 1997; MarLin 2003), community dominance (Seaward 1987; MarLin 2003; Chauvaud et al. 2003), competition (Utting, Spencer 1992; De Montaudouin et al. 1999; Weidema 2000; Eno et al. 1997; Jarvekulg 1979; Wolff, Reise 2002; Dyrynda 2003; Thieltges 2005), habitat change (Barnes et al. 1973; Eno et al. 1997; Dyrynda 2003; Goulletquer et al. 2002; Vallet et al. 2001), transfer of parasites and diseases (Eno et al. 1997)
