Notes  Diet: photosynthetic [details]

Distribution: Long Island Sound to Newfoundland [details]

Habitat: quiet bays on muddy bottoms, sublittoral, epiphytic on eelgrass and often free drifting when large [details]

Morphology: Brown colour results from the dominance of the xanthophyll fucoxanthin; this masks the other pigments, Chlorophyll a and c (no chlorophyll b), beta-carotene and other xanthophylls. [details]

Reproduction: general for group: most brown algae have an alternation of haploid and dioploid generations; The haploid thalli form isogamous, anisogamous or oogamous gametes and the diploid thalli form zoospores by meiosis. [details]
