Diet: photosynthetic [details] Dimensions: tufts up to 8-20 cm tall [details] Distribution: Long Island Sound, Gulf of Maine to Bay of Fundy, Northumberland Strait, Strait of Belle Isle [details] Habitat: on shells and stones in littoral or shallow sublittoral [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.
