Diet photosynthetic [details]
Distribution Bay of Fundy to Scotian coast, Gulf of St. Lawrence [details]
Habitat epiphytic on eelgrass and coarse algae in summer [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]
