Diet photosynthetic [details]

Dimensions blades from 2-3 c, on high exposed rocks to 30 cm in more protected sites [details]

Distribution Long Island Sound to Strait of Belle Isle [details]

Habitat exposed rocks, estuarine habitats [details]

Habitat Environment with variable salinity [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. [details]
