  • The Seaweed Flora of a Young Semi-Enclosed Sea: the Baltic
    HELGOL.~NDER MEERESUNTERSUCHUNGEN Helgol&nder Meeresunters. 42, 243-250 (1988) The seaweed flora of a young semi-enclosed sea: The Baltic. Salinity as a possible agent of flora divergence* G. Russell Department of Botany, The University/Liverpool L69 3BX, England ABSTRACT: The salinity tolerances of Baltic and Atlantic populations of Fucus vesiculosus and Chorda filum have been measured using net photosynthesis as an index of tissue damage. Atlantic Fucus proved to have a broader salinity tolerance than Atlantic Chorda, a result which is consistent with others published on the tolerances of intertidal and sublittoral marine species. The optimum salinity for all Atlantic plants was 11 or 34%0, but that of all Baltic plants was 6%o. Baltic Fucus and Chorda were different in breadth of tolerance, in spite of the fact that they inhabit the same sublittoral habitat. This difference is interpreted in relation to their respective life-forms, Fucus being perennial and Chorda annual. Fucus is therefore present as a macrothallus at all times of year, including the critical low-salinity period of the spring ice-melt. Chorda evades damage by existing as a resistent microthallus at this time. It is concluded that the distinctive character of Baltic marine algae deserves nomenclatural recognition at some level below that of the species. The rank of subspecies would appear the most appropriate of those hsted in the Code, but none of those available is able adequately to express the patterns of variation now being reported. INTRODUCTION The Baltic Sea, like the Mediterranean, has a very narrow exit to the Atlantic Ocean, and the fact that the flow of its seawater is almost always in an outward direction, serves only to increase its isolation.

  • Banks of Algal Microscopic Forms: Hypotheses on Their Functioning and Comparisons with Seed Banks
    MARINE ECOLOGY PROGRESS SERIES Published December 30 Mar. Ecol. Prog. Ser. REVIEW Banks of algal microscopic forms: hypotheses on their functioning and comparisons with seed banks Alicia J. Hoffmann, Bernabe Santelices Departamento de Ecologia, Facultad de Ciencias Biologicas, Pontificia Universidad Catolica de Chile, Casilla 114-D, Santiago, Chile ABSTRACT: It has been proposed that a 'bank of microscopic forms' functions as a survival mechanism for benthc macroalgae, m some ways analogous to the 'seed bank' of terrestrial plants. Four aspects related to this hypothesis are examined here, namely (1) origin and morphology of the structures forming banks, (2) their specific compositions, (3) environmental conditions that allow their survival in a state of suspended growth, and conditions that trigger reinitiation of growth; and (4) losses from the banks by diverse causes Although the structures at which growth suspension occurs are of very different morphologies, and probably are also different in their capacities of temporal displacement, both types of banks are regulated by similar environmental factors and subjected to similar types of constraints. Some important differences between the 2 banks are likely to stem from the lesser longe- vity of the algal microscopic stages, which would limit the duration of banks of microscopic forms INTRODUCTION 1979, Fenner 1985, Leck et al. 1989). In contrast, the analogy between a 'bank of microscopic forms' and a In analogy to the seed banks of land plants, Chap- 'seed bank' has not been critically assessed. No man (1986) coined the term 'bank of microscopic attempts have been made at establishing if the mcro- forms' for the population of microscopic phases from scopic stages actually function as survival banks, which macroalgae may develop under adequate either for an algal population or a community; it is environmental conditions.
