| Abstract | In order to examine the possibility of creating kelp beds with upright thin structures above sea urchin-dominated barrens, oscillating-flow-tank experiments were conducted on the climbing performance by the sea urchin Strongylocentrotus nudus using upright rods of two different diameters (3 and 10 mm) with five blade pieces of the kelp Eisenia bicyclis as algal food attached at 2.5-cm intervals in four levels of orbital velocities (0, 0.2, 0.3 and 0.4 m/s). In the absence of oscillatory flow urchins readily climbed to graze on food items in sequence from the bottom. The frequency of grazing up to the top food significantly decreased with velocity but no significant difference in the frequency was detected between the thin and thick rods. Fitting of a Markovian model with stationary transition probability to the observed frequency of the grazed height (number of pieces of food eaten from the bottom) suggested that, once climbing was initiated, an urchin continued to climb at a particular rate determined by the water motion. The resultant model predicted that, even with increasing height of upright rods, an orbital velocity higher than at least 0.1 m/s would be required to prevent urchin invasion in urchin-dominated barrens. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
