While the literature is not extensive enough to permit solid conclusions, the data suggest that Z. japonica harms large invertebrate species and the native eelgrass, Z. marina, while providing advantageous habitat for smaller marine invertebrates. The authors urge that {\textquotedblleft}rigorous scientific investigation is needed{\textquotedblright} in order to develop the best policies for managing the species.},

This review looks at the two species, which are managed very differently in different parts of the West Coast.  Should the invader be driven out and destroyed? Should it be ignored?

Transplanted shrimp into low- and high-density plots of eelgrass and eelgrass into low- and high-density plots of ghost shrimp. Noted which associated benthic species were sensitive to the differences in density. Also noted seasonal factors: seagrass has a competitive advantage in spring, while ghost shrimp are most active and have a greater advantage in summer.},
