Present Inaccurate Introduced: alien Containing type locality
From editor or global species database
LSID urn:lsid:algaebase.org:taxname:77215 [details]Unreviewed
Diet photosynthetic [details]Dimensions tufts up to 8-20 cm tall [details]
Distribution Long Island Sound, Gulf of Maine to Bay of Fundy, Northumberland Strait, Strait of Belle Isle [details]
Habitat on shells and stones in littoral or shallow 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. [details]
