| Notes |
Diet: photosynthetic [details] Distribution: Cape Cod to Strait of Belle Isle [details] Habitat: Known from rocky shores. [details] Habitat: exposed sites, in the low littoral, but most abundant in shallow sublittoral sites with a strong surge, may extend to 18 m depth [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.
