A historical review of giant kelp harvesting in Tasmania. [PDF]

J Phycol
Abstract Kelps have a long history of human use and exploitation. Knowledge of past harvesting practices offers insights into environmental baselines and the contemporary management and conservation of these critically important ecosystems. In Tasmania, Australia, giant kelp (Macrocystis pyrifera) was commercially harvested for alginate production from

Microbe-assisted seedling crop improvement by a seaweed extract to address fucalean forest restoration

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023
In the Mediterranean, Cystoseira sensu lato (s.l.) (Phaeophyceae) forests have sharply declined and restoration measures are needed to compensate for the loss.

Massive decline of Cystoseira abies-marina forests in Gran Canaria Island (Canary Islands, eastern Atlantic)

Scientia Marina, 2017
Brown macroalgae within the genus Cystoseira are some of the most relevant “ecosystem-engineers” found throughout the Mediterranean and the adjacent Atlantic coasts.

Population dynamics of Ericaria zosteroides (Ochrophyta, Fucales) in the central Mediterranean

Mediterranean Botany, 2023
Ericaria zosteroides is a canopy-forming macroalga belonging to the order Fucales, which dominates Mediterranean deep-water stands. In the present research, populations of E.

The Remarkable Antioxidant and Anti-Inflammatory Potential of the Extracts of the Brown Alga Cystoseira amentacea var. stricta

Marine Drugs, 2020
Inflammation and oxidative stress are part of the complex biological responses of body tissues to harmful stimuli. In recent years, due to the increased understanding that oxidative stress is implicated in several diseases, pharmaceutical industries have

SIEVE ELEMENTS IN THE FUCALES [PDF]

New Phytologist, 1983
SUMMARYMedullary filaments from the thalli of most of the British species of brown seaweeds belonging to the Fucales have been examined with both scanning and transmission electron microscopy (SEM and TEM). The end walls of each cell in the filament are in the form of a sieve plate.

Population Genomics and Lagrangian Modeling Shed Light on Dispersal Events in the Mediterranean Endemic Ericaria zosteroides (=Cystoseira zosteroides) (Fucales)

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021
Dispersal is a central process that affects population growth, gene flow, and ultimately species persistence. Here we investigate the extent to which gene flow occurs between fragmented populations of the deep-water brown algae Ericaria zosteroides ...

Communities and Attachment Networks Associated with Primary, Secondary and Alternative Foundation Species; A Case Study of Stressed and Disturbed Stands of Southern Bull Kelp

Diversity, 2019
Southern bull kelps (Durvillaea spp., Fucales) are ‘primary’ foundation species that control community structures and ecosystem functions on temperate wave-exposed rocky reefs.

Dynamic structural colour increases photosynthetic performance in the alga Ericaria selaginoides

Applied Phycology, 2021
Structural colour occurs when nanoscale structures interfere with incident light transmission and reflect particular wavelengths. The brown alga Ericaria selaginoides (Fucales, Phaeophyceae) has an opalescent photonic crystal anatomy that creates the ...

Coexistence of the reef-building coral Cladocora caespitosa and the canopy-forming alga Treptacantha ballesterosii: Description of a new Mediterranean habitat

Scientia Marina, 2020
Shallow Mediterranean rocky environments are usually dominated by macroalgae, but the stony colonial zooxan­thellate coral Cladocora caespitosa is able to build extensive banks in some particular areas.
