In the original article, there was an error in the Title, Citation, Abstract, Figure 3 caption, and Discussion section. The species name “Apohale sp.” was mistakenly spelled.
A correction has been made to the Title:
Assessing Herbivorous Impacts of Apohyale sp. on the Ulva prolifera Green Tide in China
A correction has been made to the Citation:
Miao X, Xiao J, Fan S, Zang Y, Zhang X and Wang Z (2021) Assessing Herbivorous Impacts of Apohyale sp. on the Ulva prolifera Green Tide in China. Front. Plant Sci. 12:795560. 10.3389/fpls.2021.795560
A correction has been made to the Abstract:
It was estimated that grazing of Apohyale sp. could efficiently reduce ~0.4 and 16.6% of the algal growth rates in Rudong and Qingdao, respectively.
A correction has been made to the Figure 3 caption:
The condensed ML phylogenetic tree based on the amino acid sequences of COI in Hyalidae with cut-off value >30%. The monophyletic clade of each species was compressed and labeled with the specific markers and species names. Numbers above lines are bootstrapping support value (%) after 1,000 permutations. Apohyale sp. represents the sequence from this research. ML, Maximum-likelihood; COI, cytochrome oxidase I.
A correction has been made to the Discussion:
But the feasibility of this idealistic biological control method probably needs further testing, especially on the maximum capacity of the floating algalmass accommodating Apohyale and the controversial contribution of fragments on floating algal biomass (discussed below).
The authors apologize for this error and state that this does not change the scientific conclusions of the article in any way. The original article has been updated.
