Distribution: Long Island Sound to the Gulf of Maine, Northumberland Strait and the St. Lawrence River [details] Morphology: Red colour results from the dominance of the pigments phycoerythrin and phycocyanin; this masks the other pigments, chlorophyll a (no chlorophyll b), beta-caratene and a number of unique xanthophylls.
