Six different collector types were tried in 1996 in the mid-intertidal zone at a beach near St. Andrews, New Brunswick, Canada. The results indicated that artifical turf collected the most spat; those collectors that accumulated sediment also collected many more juveniles. The mid-intertidal location maximized spat collection. There was a negative correlation between the degree of fouling from the green alga Enteromorpha intestinalis and the number of juveniles.
