The scope of data available through this Web site goes well-beyond the sequence data available through GenBank, providing annotations and other key biological information not available elsewhere. Despite long-standing experimental interest in ctenophores due to their unique biology, ecological influence and evolutionary status, previous work has largely been constrained by the periodic seasonal availability of wild-caught animals and difficulty in reliably closing the life cycle. The establishment of this population led to a 60% reduction in the number of sprat, which in turn led to a reduction in the population of sturgeon and seals. Ramon-Mateu, J., Ellison, S.
