| Notes |
Diet: photosynthetic [details] Dimensions: blades a few cm to 1.5 m long [details] Distribution: Long Island Sound to the Arctic Circle (66oN) [details] Habitat: Known from rocky shores. [details] Habitat: mid to low littoral, especially in protected sites [details] Importance: harvested [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.
