Critical light conditions for young Ecklonia cava and Eisenia bicyclis with reference to photosynthesis

  • Conference paper
Twelfth International Seaweed Symposium

Part of the book series: Developments in Hydrobiology ((DIHY,volume 41))

Abstract

The brown algae Ecklonia cava and Eisenia bicyclis are widely distributed along the Pacific coast of central Japan, and are important algae both ecologically and economically. Wherever the water condition and substratum are suitable, these species form a dense marine forest in the sublittoral zone. Considerable knowledge has been accumulated on their distribution and population structure from the ecological point of view (Hayashida, 1977; Iwahashi, 1968; Iwahashi et al., 1979; Kida & Maegawa, 1982, 1983, 1985; Ohno & Ishikawa, 1982; Taniguchi & Kato, 1984; Maegawa & Kida, 1984a, b). There are, however, few studies of their photosynthesis, knowledge of which is important for estimating the primary production (Y. Sakanishi, Y. Yokohama & Y. Aruga, unpubl.).
