“…The gametangial and tetrasporangial generations are isomorphic, although there is a tendency for male thalli to be slightly smaller and more densely branched than females and tetrasporophytes, and the latter to be the tallest of the three phases (Austin, 1960d). Except for a single reported instance of monoecism (Austin, 1960b), the haploid phase is dioecious.…”

“…Each division is unequal, the larger daughter cell continuing as a medullary filament and the smaller developing into a divergent cortical filament. Dichotomous branching results from bifurcation of the medulla, probably by more rapid growth of the outer filaments and/or cessation of growth in the most central filaments (Austin, 1960d). After several fronds have developed, the basal mass begins to put forth haptera, which anchor the growing plant more securely, often by entwining with neighboring plants by 'sticky' protuberances (Bird, 1977).…”

“…A gelatinous cuticle over the spermatangia imparts a mucilaginous texture to the tissue. Welldeveloped male thalli are characteristically compact and bushy (Grubb, 1925;Austin, 1960d), which Austin (1960b) ascribed to their tendency to retain spermatangial apices until well into the season of maximum vegetative growth (see Phenology), so that less regeneration occurs before fertility resumes. Alternatively, it has been suggested (Austin, 1960d) that male plants may become fertile more than once per year, thereby further limiting their vegetative growth.…”

“…Vegetative growth is cumulative over several years before plants attain reproductive maturity. Austin (1960d) estimated that fronds in a low-littoral population in Wales were 4-6 years old at the onset of fertility. In the Gulf of Riga, Blinova (1977) reported a preponderance of fronds with 7-11 orders of dichotomy, which she estimated to be 3-5 years old.…”

Information on the commercially utilized marine red alga Furcellaria lumbricalis is summarized from published sources. Biological aspects under discussion include: nomenclature, taxonomy, morphology, development and life history, distribution, phenology, ecophysiology, growth and resource management. A brief history of the utilization of this species, and an account of its chemical constituents including the hydrocolloid furcellaran are also presented.

“…Off the Welsh coast the most rapid growth of E lumbricalis occurs from March-June (Austin 1960), about a month earlier than at Ransvik. The later induction at Ransvik may result from the shorter photoperiod and lower temperatures there, two factors to which the species is sensitive (Bird et al 1979).…”

Samples of the macrobenthic flora were collected at 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10 m below mean water level at Kullen, S Sweden. The frequency, length, reproductive pattern and biomass o f the commonest species, and the variations of these with depth and season are discussed. The species composition and the size of the plants indicate that the flora is strongly affected by the brackish environment. Only few species contributed substantially to the total mean biomass (100.1 g dry wt 0.25 m 2 ) : Fucus serratus (56%), Laminaria digitata (7%), L . saccharina (4"/0). Furcellaria hmbricalis (14%), the Phyhphora species (5%) and Chondrus crispus (3%). Species with thin filamentous or sheet-like thalli made up the remaining ca. 11%. The contribution made by this group increased with depth from 1% at 2 m to 48% at 10 m. The mean biomass at each depth was strongly correlated to the irradiance. The seasonal variation in biomass followed that of the irradiance but with a lag. In winter and late summer the growth was also influenced by temperature and nutrient concentrations. The total biomass is delimited by the low and fluctuating salinity in Oresund.
