In the published article, there was an error in Figure 5 as published. The figure showed population grazing rates instead of mortality rates. The corrected Figure 5 and its caption Mortality of B. plicatilis over time when exposed to H. akashiwo, H. rotundata or both algae species in combination (indicated by color) across two levels of salinity (15 and 30) represented by facet grid columns” appear below.

In the published article, there was an error. The research permit number was missing in the Acknowledgements.

A correction has been made to the Acknowledgments section, Paragraph 1. This sentence previously stated:

“We thank Heike Rickels (ICBM Terramare, Wilhelmshaven, Germany) for analysis of dissolved and particulate nutrient samples as well as technical support in the lab. Furthermore, we also thank Jan-Claas Dajka (HIFMB, Oldenburg, Germany) for advice in data analysis and Cedric Meunier (AWI, Helgoland, Germany) for providing the A. tonsa eggs.”

The corrected sentence appears below:

“We thank Heike Rickels (ICBM Terramare, Wilhelmshaven, Germany) for analysis of dissolved and particulate nutrient samples as well as technical support in the lab. We also thank Jan-Claas Dajka (HIFMB, Oldenburg, Germany) for advice in data analysis and Cedric Meunier (AWI, Helgoland, Germany) for providing the A. tonsa eggs. Furthermore, we thank the South African department of forestry, fisheries & the environment for permitting this research (permit reference number: RES2023/62).”

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.
