The physiology and biochemistry of the Laminaria Pallida/Carpoblepharis Minima and Ecklonia Maxima/Suhria Vittata associations from South-Western Cape waters, South Africa

The two laminarian brown algae Laminaria pallida Grev. ex. J. Ag. and Eoklonia maxima (Osb.) Papenf. are important both economically and as major components of the South-western Cape waters, South Africa. Growing attached to these brown algae are several different species of red algae two of which, Carpoblepharis minima Bart. and Suhria vittata (L.) J. Ag., were chosen and. the L. pallida/C. minima and. E. maxima/S. vittata associations were studied using physiological and biochemical methods. Carpoblepharis minima has only been observed on L. pallida, whereas S. vittata has been found attached to various substrates as well as to E. maxima.
