Sea urchin harvest inside marine protected areas: an opportunity to investigate the effects of exploitation where trophic upgrading is achieved [PDF]
PeerJ, 2022 Background Marine protected areas (MPAs) usually have both positive effects of protection for the fisheries’ target species and indirect negative effects for sea urchins. Moreover, often in MPAs sea urchin human harvest is restricted, but allowed.

Influence of Winter Storms on the Sea Urchin Pathogen Assemblages
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022 In recent years, recurrent sea urchin mass mortalities in the Canary Islands have been registered. These mortality-related events have decimated 93% of the eastern Atlantic populations of the barren-forming sea urchin Diadema africanum.

Trophic cascades induced by lobster fishing are not ubiquitous in southern California kelp forests. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Fishing can trigger trophic cascades that alter community structure and dynamics and thus modify ecosystem attributes. We combined ecological data of sea urchin and macroalgal abundance with fishery data of spiny lobster (Panulirus interruptus) landings ...

It is one of a water-colour painting of a seaurchin, magnified 4 diameters, which has been reared in my laboratory by Dr. Cresswell Shearer. It is a hybrid, a cross between Echinus milearis (male) and E. esculentus (female), both obtained from the Plymouth Marine Laboratory. The cross was effected
