| Notes |
Distribution: Long Island Sound to the southern Cape Cod region, Scotian Shelf and to the northeastern Newfoundland Shelf [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.
