Impacts
Impact in Japan:
Fouling activities rapid over shell/dense growth in black lip oyster culture (Mawatari 1974)
Global Impact:
Bryozoans are ecologically important in the Indian River Lagoon due to their feeding method. As suspension feeders, they act as living filters in the marine environment. For example, Winston (1995) reported that bryozoan colonies located in 1 square meter of seagrass bed could potentially filter and recirculate an average of 48,000 gallons of seawater per day (Hill 2001)

Asexual Reproduction:
Budding/fragmentation (Splitting into unequal parts. Buds may form on the body of the “parentâ€)
Reproduction Details:
A. truncata has been collected from the Indian River Lagoon during November, but was not reproductive at the time of collection (Winston 1982, cited in Hill 2001)
When reproductive, embryos of A. truncata are brooded in membranous ovisacs (Hill 2001)
Early development: Live birth with no nutritional supply; Juvenile Development/Dispersal: Larval phase (Lee II and Reusser 2012)
Special reproductive structures: öoecia. Sac-like structure connected to zooecium by a short, narrow stolon. Budded off the side, same manner as ordinary zooecia. (Shier 1964)
RELATED:
[Aetea] Four main groups of embryo-incubation chambers known in Cheilostomata: Aetea is part of group with external membranous sacs (Ovicells); Ovicells exterior to the aperture; shell membrane surrounding the egg (Ostrovsky 2013)
[Aetea] Aetea spp. lack of consistency in the position of the external membranous sacs. Only present during the reproductive period. External flexible transparent sacs without a cellular lining and lack of an opening appear to support that they are a fertilization envelope (Ostrovsky 2013)
[Cheilostomata] Free spawning species produce the characteristic triangular cyphonautes larva. These larvae are long-lived and planktotrophic. The larval body is enclosed in a membranous shell; the size can be up to little over 1 mm. Cyphonautes larvae are not keyed out - if possible at all. (van Couwelaar 2003)
[Gymnolaemates] Internal fertilization, whether intracoelomic or intraovarian, is obligatory (Temkin 1994 and 1996, cited in Ostrovsky 2013)
[Gymnolaemates] Differ from most organisms in that sperm-egg fusion does not stimulate egg activation. Egg activation may not occur until "spawned" outside of maternal zooid (Temkin 1991)
[Bryozoans] While sperm is spawned through pores in lophophore tentacles, eggs are usually harbored inside the body wall, and are internally fertilized by sperm, coming in on lophophore feeding currents (Brusca and Brusca 2003, cited in Rouse 2011; Kozloff 1990, cited in Rouse 2011)
[Bryozoans] Colonial hermaphrodites, with testes (spermatogenic tissue) and ovaries developing either within the same zooid (zooidal hermaphroditism) or in different zooids within the same colony (zooidal gonochorism) (Ostrovsky 2013)
[Bryozoans] Members of the phylum Bryozoa are hermaphroditic. Both fertilization and egg brooding may either be internal or external (Ruppert et al. 2004)
[Bryozoans] The first zooid in a colony is called the ancestrula. It is from this individual that the rest of the colony will grow asexually from the budding (Hill 2001)
[Bryozoa] All bryozoan colonies are hermaphroditic. Autozooids may be dioecious; or monoecious, and protandrous or protogynous. (Hayward & Ryland 1998)
[Bryozoa] Reproduces asexually by budding. (Mawatari 1976)
CONFLICT
For many Gymnolaemate bryozoa, eggs are not activated when fused with sperm at internal site. Instead, egg must be broadcasted before egg activation takes place. In this way, Membranipora spp. is described as being broadcasters despite fertilization being internal process (Temkin 1991; Ostrovsky 2013)

[Bryozoans] Experiments often used light as a cue to collect embryos/larvae (Woollacott and Zimmer 1977)
[Bryozoa] In coastal species light is an important stimulus to larval release, and many cheilostomates shed larvae during the first few hours of daylight. (Hayward & Ryland 1998)
[Bryozoans] In various degrees of intensity according to the species temperature also stimulates sexual reproduction. (Winston 1977)
Reproduction Time:
A. truncata has been collected from the Indian River Lagoon during November, but was not reproductive at the time of collection (Winston 1982 in Hill 2001)

Recorded on PVC settlement plates on an artificial reef in open waters at 20m (Bailey-Brock 1989, cited in Carlton and Eldredge 2009)
[Indian River Lagoon, US] Typical habitats include seagrasses, drift algae, oyster reef, dock, pilings, breakwaters, and man-made debris; Found in association with hydrozoans, specifically Thyroscyphus ramosus (Hill 2001) (Winston 1995, cited in Hill 2001)
Seagrasses as well as floating macroalgae, provide support for bryozoan colonies. In turn, bryozoans provide habitat for many species of juvenile fishes and their invertebrate prey such as polychaete worms, amphipods and copepods (Winston 1995 in Hill 2001)
Found in association with other species that act as support structures: mangrove roots, oyster beds, mussels, etc. (Hill 2001)
Colonising a wide range of substrates including algae, hydroids and hard substrates. (EOL 2015)
Shells, dead coral, and gravel; beach drift grass (Hastings 1929; Mawatari 1974; Shier 1964)
Found on all kinds of substrata. (Hayward & Ryland 1998)
Hard substratum including algae, sponge, mussels, etc and soft substratum incuding all phanerogams. (Koçak & Önen 2014)
Found on algae, gravel and rock. (Inaba 1988)
Found at the bottom with shells and sand. (Silén 1942)

Trophic Details:
Suspension feeder (Craeymeersch 2008, cited in Gordon 2015)
A. truncata, like all bryozoans, is a suspension feeder. Each individual zooid in a colony has ciliated tentacles that are extended to filter phytoplankton less than 0.045 mm in size (about 1/1800 of an inch) from the water column.

[Bryozoans] Suspension feeder. Filter phytoplankton less than 0.045mm in size from the water column. (Hill 2001)
[Bryozoa] Many phytoplankton species are cleary unsuitable as food for bryozoans. (Hayward & Ryland 1998)
[Cheilostomata] Main food is diatom, protozoans and etc. and unappropriate sized particles are ejected. (Mawatari 1976)

Natural Control:
COMPETITION
[Competition] Inter-specific competition between S. errata and the other fouling organisms (including Aetea truncata) was reported to be quite severe (Koçak 2008)
OTHER
[Other] According to numerous authors, the amount of food and sea temperature are the main factors influencing zooid size (Dzik 1975, Sebens 1979, Atkinson 1994, O'Dea & Okamura 1999).
[Other] O'Dea & Okamura (1999) investigated the relationship between zooid size and sea temperature, showing that the former is inversely proportional to the latter...The comparison of two different temperature regimes of North and South Adriatic Sea rocky communities revealed no systematic difference between zooid sizes. (Novosel et al 2004)
[Other] Dzik (1975) and Sebens (1979) considered that less food results in more zooids per unit surface area because the possibility of catching food is higher. This would yield colonies with smaller zooids.
RELATED:
DISTURBANCE
[Disturbance] [Bryozoans] In the Adriatic face two particular threats: anoxic events, which have wiped out populations of habitat-forming bryozoans in the past (Hayward and McKinney 2002) and low-salinity shock caused by high flow of the submarine fresh water springs around which they live (Cocito et al. 2004, cited in Wood et al. 2012)
PREDATION
[Predation] [Bryozoa] Browsers and grazers, including sea urchins, fish, crabs and some prosobranchs, are known to include bryozoans in their diet. (Hayward & Ryland 1998)
[Predation] [Bryozoa] Bryozoans are also the prey of very many small, selective predators, some of which may be adapted to a very narrow spectrum of prey species. Among them opisthobranch predators of bryozoans are well known. (Hayward & Ryland 1998)
[Predation] [Bryozoa] Other than opisthobranchs as a predator, amphipods, isopods, mites and pycnogonids have all been recorded preying on bryozoan colonies. (Hayward & Ryland 1998)
EPIBIONTS
[Epibionts] [Cheilostomata] It is frequently observed in Japan that several species of hydroids flourish on Cheilostomata cause damages to them. (Mawatari 1976)
