Production of Specific Polyclonal Antibody against the Larvae of Corallivorous Gastropod <i>Drupella fragum</i> for Prediction of Outbreaks

The term corallivorous gastropod refers to a group of snails that feeds on coral and inhabits coral communities worldwide. Outbreaks of these species cause serious damage to coral communities. There are various reasons behind the outbreaks; however, further clarifications are needed. It may be possi...
