Add to ORKGAbstract The potential of the solitary ascidia Styela plicata as a natural eutrophication control was investigated at the inner Thermaikos Gulf. Experimental work was carried out in the laboratory to estimate filtration efficiency, and in the field to study the colonization potential. S. plicata specimens halved the original concentration of particulate organic matter in about 2 hours, and successfully colonized a variety of artificial substrates within 3 months. These results support the abilities of this species as biological filter
