	year = {2018},
	note = {In aquatic environments, invasive colonial tunicates do particular damage, fouling and even smothering sedentary animals, competing with native animals for resources, and reducing biodiversity.  In this Master{\textquoteright}s thesis, the author examines two invasive tunicate species in Oregon and their effects on aquaculture, first at Winchester Bay from 2011 to 2016, and then in simulation.  She points out that {\textquotedblleft}ecological impacts are highly variable and region-specific,{\textquotedblright} and did not find excessive growth, and thus, no extensive damage done to aquaculture in this situation.},
