| Notes |
Diet: photosynthetic [details] Distribution: Long Island Sound to Strait of Belle Isle [details] Habitat: Known from the nearshore. [details] Habitat: epiphyte on eelgrass, Sargassum and other algae, stone or shell, or as free-floating tufts, 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.
