Reference Genome of the California Sheephead, Semicossyphus pulcher (Labridae, Perciformes), A Keystone Fish Predator in Kelp Forest Ecosystems
Abstract Keystone species are known to play a critical role in kelp forest health, including the well-known killer whales, sea otter, sea urchin, kelp trophic cascade in the Aleutian Islands, Alaska, USA. In California, a major player in the regulation of sea urchin abundance, and in turn, the healt...
