The corresponding author has forgotten to include the reference (Ogasawara et al. 2011) providing the data for part Fig. 4. The following corrections must be done in order to correct the missing information in the published article.

1. In Page 1265, (results part; standing biomass), “The seasonal changes in standing biomass of algal populations in 2005 and 2006 are shown in Fig. 4.” should be changed to “The seasonal changes in standing biomass of algal populations in 2005 and 2006 are shown in Fig. 4 (Ogasawara et al. 2011).”

2. Figure 4 caption should read:

Fig. 4 Seasonal changes in standing biomass (g fresh weight 625 cm⁻²) of the populations of S. japonica (black bar charts), U. pinnatifida (gray bar charts), and other algae (white bar charts) from February 2005 to November 2006 (Ogasawara et al. 2011)

3. Below is the complete bibliographic information for the missing reference which should have been added in the References.
