  • Fucus Vesiculosus Populations?
    l MARINE ECOLOGY PROGRESS SERIES Vol. 133: 191-201.1996 Published March 28 1 Mar Ecol Prog Ser Are neighbours harmful or helpful in Fucus vesiculosus populations? Joel C. Creed*,T. A. Norton, Joanna M. Kain (Jones) Port Erin Marine Laboratory, Port Erin. Isle of Man IM9 6JA, United Kingdom ABSTRACT: In order to investigate the effect of density on Fucus vesjculosus L. at all stages of its development, 2 experiments were carried out. A culture study in the laboratory found that increased density resulted in depressed growth and a negatively skewed population structure during the first month in the lives of freshly settled germlings. Intraspecific competition acts even at this early stage, and the limiting factor was probably nutrients. 'Two-sided' ('resource depletion') competition and an early scramble phase of growth may explain negative skewness in plant sizes. On the shore experi- mental thinning by reduction of the canopy resulted in increased macrorecruitment (apparent density) from a bank of microscopic plants which must have been present for some time. With increased thinning more macrorecruits loined the remaining plants, making population size structures highly posit~velyskewed. Thinning had no effect on reproduction In terms of the portion of biomass as repro- ductive tissue. Manipulative weedlng allows an assessment of the potent~alspore bank in seasonally reproductive seaweeds and revealed that there are always replacement plants in reserve to compen- sate for canopy losses. In E vesiculosus the performance of individuals early on is crucial to their sub- sequent survival to reproductive stage, as neighbours are generally competitively harmful. However, a failure to 'win' early on may not necessarily result in the ending of a small plant's life - the 'seed' bank still offers the individual a slim chance of survival and protects the population from harmful stochastic events KEY WORDS: Culture .

Photo by Ellen Schagerström Summary The Baltic Sea is considered an ecological marginal environment, where both marine and freshwater species struggle to adapt to its ever changing conditions. Fucus vesiculosus (bladderwrack) is commonly seen as the foundation species in the Baltic Sea, as it is the only large perennial macroalgae, forming vast belts down to a depth of about 10 meters. The salinity gradient results in an increasing salinity stress for all marine organisms. This is commonly seen in many species as a reduction in size. What was previously described as a low salinity induced dwarf morph of F. vesiculosus was recently proved to be a separate species, when genetic tools were used. This new species, Fucus radicans (narrow wrack) might be the first endemic species to the Baltic Sea, having separated from its mother species F. vesiculosus as recent as 400 years ago. Fucus radicans is only found in the Bothnian Sea and around the Estonian island Saaremaa. The Swedish/Finnish populations have a surprisingly high level of clonality.

  • Seaweed Seaweeds Are an Important Food and Medicine to Humans Everywhere That They Grow
    Seaweed Seaweeds are an important food and medicine to humans everywhere that they grow. They have been harvested by Salish People off the Pacific coast for countless generations and are used for thickening soups, seasoning foods, and for baking foods in cooking pits. Seaweeds are exceptionally high in minerals, trace elements and protein. They can be preserved through careful drying in the sun or near a fire. Where they grow: In salt water at middle to low tidal zones. Each type of seaweed has a tidal zone habitat – from sea lettuce and bladder wrack that grow on rocks in upper tidal zones to bull whip kelp, which grows in deep waters. Season: Like other edible plant greens, seaweeds are harvested in spring and early summer when they are most vital. In late summer and fall they get tougher and begin to deteriorate. How to Harvest: It is very important to harvest seaweeds from clean waters because they can absorb environmental toxins. The safest places are open waters of the Pacific with strong current flow away from cities, towns or industrial runoff. Washington State allows us to harvest 10 pounds wet weight per day on public beaches and you need a shellfish/seaweed license to harvest. The bottom of the seaweed or “hold-fast” anchors on to rocks while leaves grow upward toward the light like an undersea forest. Make sure you leave the holdfast and at least a quarter of the seaweed plant so it can grow back. Do not clear-cut any area so that the seaweed can continue to thrive.

  • Colonization and Growth Dynamics of Three Species of Fucus
    MARINE ECOLOGY - PROGRESS SERIES Vol. 15: 125-134, 1984 1 Published January 3 Mar. Ecol. Prog. Ser. 1 l Colonization and growth dynamics of three species of Fucus M. Keser* and B. R. Larson** Department of Botany and Plant Pathology, University of Maine. Orono, Maine 04473, USA ABSTRACT: Colonization, growth and mortality of Fucus vesiculosus L., F. vesiculosus L. var. spiralis Farl. and F. distichus L. subsp. edentatus (Pyl.) Powell were investigated from August 1973 to April 1976. Grazing by Littorina littorea L. retarded but did not prevent colonization of Fucus. Growth of Fucus spp. was characterized by high variability both within and among sites. The general growth pattern consisted of slow to moderate growth during winter and early spring and rapid growth throughout summer and autumn. Growth was inversely proportional to intertidal height. Removing Ascophyllum nodosum (L.) Le Jol., and Chondrus crispus Stackh., from protected rocky shores permitted colonization and development of F. vesjculosus throughout the intertidal region. Following colonization, the mortality of F. vesiculosus gerrnlings was high. Such losses were not reflected in area1 cover measurements, however, because of the continued growth of surviving thalli. Mortality of large plants occurred mainly during winter, owing to ice and storm damage. This mortality, as well as a reduced growth rate, was responsible for the slow increase in algal cover during winter.

  • Origin of Fucus Serratus (Heterokontophyta; Fucaceae) Populations in Iceland and the Faroes: a Microsatellite-Based Assessment
    Eur. J. Phycol. (2006), 41(2): 235–246 Origin of Fucus serratus (Heterokontophyta; Fucaceae) populations in Iceland and the Faroes: a microsatellite-based assessment J. A. COYER1, G. HOARAU1, M. SKAGE2, W. T. STAM1 AND J. L. OLSEN1 1Department of Marine Biology, Centre for Ecological and Evolutionary Studies, University of Groningen, PO Box 14, 9750 AA Haren, The Netherlands 2Department of Biology, University of Bergen, 5007 Bergen, Norway (Received 13 October 2005; accepted 22 February 2006) The common intertidal seaweed Fucus serratus was almost certainly introduced to Iceland and the Faroes by humans from Europe, as previous genetic studies have confirmed that life-history constraints preclude long-distance dispersal. Introduction must have occurred sometime in the 1,000 years between arrival of the first Icelandic settlers c. 900 AD and when the species was first noted in a phycological survey in 1900. We genotyped 19 populations from throughout northern Europe, Iceland, and the Faroes with seven microsatellite loci in order to identify the source or sources of the Icelandic/Faroese populations. Assignment tests indicated that the Sma˚skjaer area of the Oslofjorden in Norway was the source for the Icelandic populations and the Hafnarfjo¨ rôur area of Iceland was the likely source for the single Faroese population. The time of introduction to Iceland was probably during the 19th century, whereas introduction to the Faroes occurred during the late 20th century. Additionally, molecular data verified hybridization between the introduced F. serratus and the native F. evanescens. Key words: Fucus serratus, hybridization, Iceland, species introductions, seaweeds, the Faroes Introduction biological surveys in the mid-1800s was largely Recent introductions of marine species due to the a result of post-glaciation colonization, and that it shipping and fisheries activities of human societies was only after the surveys that novel species were continue to be a widely discussed topic.

By SHUMPEI INOH (With 6 Text-figures and Plates II-IV) Introduction In his monograph on Japanese Fucaceae, YENDO (27) has enumerated 8 genera found in our country, namely, Fucus, Pelvetia, Cystoseira, Cycto­ phyllum, Turbinaria, Coccophora, Sargassum and Ishige. Recently OKA­ MURA(13) has added to them another genus Hizikia. Of these, four genera, Sargassum, Coccophora, Cystophylltlm and Hizikia, which were considered by taxonomists to belong to the higher class of this family, have been hitherto investigated embryologically, especially concerning the mode of rhizoid formation, by TAHARA (16, 18, 19), OKABE (12) and INOH (4, 5, 6, 7). The results obtained by these workers seem to suggest the followin~' facts, (i) the number of primary rhizoids is proportionate to the size of the rhizoid cell, (ii) the size of the rhizoid cell is proportionate to the size of the egg, and (iii) the size of the egg is related to the complexity of the somatic constitution; species having larger eggs are more complex in their development and vice versa. It is regretful, however, that there are no detailed studies along the same line on Fucus and Pelvetia which are known to be of a taxonomically lower class of the family, although one can find in classic literature (21, 22, 14) some brief description of embryological development in certain species of these genera (F.

  • Natural Dynamics of a Fucus Distichus (Phaeophyceae, Fucales) Population: Reproduction and Recruitment
    MARINE ECOLOGY PROGRESS SERIES Vol. 78: 71-85, 1991 Published December 5 Mar. Ecol. Prog. Ser. Natural dynamics of a Fucus distichus (Phaeophyceae, Fucales) population: reproduction and recruitment P. 0.Ang, Jr* Department of Botany, University of British Columbia. Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, V6T 124 ABSTRACT. Various phenomena related to reproduction and recruitment in a population of Fucus distichus L. emend. Powell in Vancouver, British Columbia. Canada were evaluated. Using log linear analysis and tests for simple, multiple and partial associations, age and size were both found to be significant, but size slightly more so than age, as descriptors of reproductive events. Reproductive plants were found throughout the sampling period, from September 1985 to November 1987, but peaked in fall and winter of each year. Potential egg production, based on number of eggs produced per conceptacle and number of conceptacles per unit area of receptacle, is size-dependent. However, estimated monthly egg production, calculated by observed number of eggs in clusters extruded from the receptacle, is independent of plant size. Two types of recruits were monitored Microrecruits (<1 mo-old of micro- scopic size) are germlings developed from fertilized eggs. Their numbers were assessed using settling blocks. Macrorecruits are detectable by the unaided eye and are plants appearing in the permanent quadrats for the first time. They can first be detected when about 3 to 4 mo old. The recruitment pattern of microrecruits is significantly correlated with reproductive phenology and patterns of potential and estimated monthly egg production. The pattern of recruitment of macrorecruits is negatively correlated with reproductive phenology and that of the estimated monthly egg production.

Pelletreau Shannon Point Marine Center, 1900 Shannon Point Road, Anacortes, Washington 98221, USA ABSTRACT: Resource-allocation models predict trade-offs between growth and chemical defense. The carbon/nutrient balance hypothesis (CNBH) predicts that plants will allocate carbon to growth when nutrients are abundant and allocate it to carbon-based antiherbivore defenses when nutrients are limiting. In marine systems, field and laboratory tests of the CNBH with phlorotannin-producing algae have generally supported the predictions of the model.

  • Fucus Serratus, Serrated Wrack, Fucus Vesiculosus, Bladder Wrack Or
    Fucus serratus , serrated wrack, Fucus vesiculosus , bladder wrack or rockweed, and Ascophyllum nodosum , knotted wrack or rockweed (Order Fucales) Background These are species of brown algae inhabiting temperate to arctic rocky intertidal zones of estuaries, harbours, and open coasts. Fucus serratus , likely introduced from Europe (Schneider 2002 and references therein), ranges from Chaleur Bay and the tip of Cape Breton to Bar Harbor, Maine. Fucus vesiculosus extends from Ellesmere Island to North Carolina (Sears 2002, Taylor 1957). Ascophyllum nodosum ranges from Baffin Island to New Jersey (Taylor 1957). In the Canadian Atlantic F. vesiculosus typically is abundant and the dominant species of the genus. Fucus serratus grows in high densities on European shores. However, Ascophyllum nodosum is the dominant brown alga throughout the littoral zone, favouring the mid- to low region, where it forms extensive beds, especially in protected sites ( http://www.acadianseaplants.com ; Sears 2002). Fucus serratus occupies the lowest area of the shore zone, with F. vesiculosus just above it. In all species each individual plant attaches to the rocky substrate via a holdfast. Fucus vesiculosus can withstand significant exposure to wind and wave action, while many Fucus serratus plants may be lost to winter storms. In areas of frequent ice scour F. vesiculosus dominates; A. nodosum is dominant in areas without or with infrequent ice scour. In the most exposed or ice scoured areas A. nodosum is replaced by Fucus (Sharp 1987). In these species the sexes are separate. Each species has one protracted reproductive season per year. In European waters Fucus vesiculosus reproduces from winter to summer ( http://www.arkive.org/ ), and Fucus serratus from late spring/early summer to late summer/autumn, peaking in August to October (http://www.marlin.ac.uk/ ).

    Recipes Seasonings Kelp Seasoning Kelp powder or flakes can be made by roasting Laminaria blades in an oven at low temperatures, 150-200° for 5 to 15 minutes depending on what seaweed you are roasting and how much you have in the oven. They will turn a bright green and become quite crisp. Remove from the oven. A powder or flakes can be made by crushing with a mortar and pestle or crumbling in your hands. Used as a seasoning, it can be added to seafood chowder or sprinkled over rice. Sea Lettuce Flakes Roast dried blades of Ulva in an oven at 180-200° for 5-15 minutes or until the blades are just crisp. They will easily crush to a powder or small flakes in your hand or with a mortar. Store in a jar and use as a seasoning in soups or on salads. Kombu (Kelp) Stock Kelp (kombu, Laminaria bongardiana) can be added to water to provide a flavorful stock base for soups. The kelp is not boiled but put into water and heated. It is then removed from the water just before boiling. The stock can then be used to make your soup or rice dish. 41 Common Edible Seaweeds in the Gulf of Alaska Snacks Quick Fry Kelp Chips Cut fresh Laminaria saccharina or Laminaria setchellii into small chip-like strips.
