fucoid

Thalli of intertidal fucoids rising above the bottom at high tide and floating substrates such as ropes of suspended aquaculture may grant the mussels a refuge against crawling benthic predators (Dias et al., 2009; Katolikova et al., 2016).

Its properties are derived from its composition, mainly from its iodised matter and sulphated polysaccharides such as fucoids and alginates.

Some of the complex sugars in seaweed are referred to as fucoids (glucans), which may stimulate immune function.

Earlier investigations show that the effect of an oil spill on fucoids is controversial and highly site specific (Crapp, 1971; Thomas, 1977; Notini, 1978; Highsmith et al., 1996; Stekoll & Deysher, 1996a, b).

The Stephensons noted that the dearth of fucoids such as Pelvetia and dominance of red algal turfs at HMS (which still characterize the community today) make the site more closely resemble warm-temperate intertidal zones than the more northerly Pacific coast sites (Stephenson and Stephenson 1972).

Ice scour is the most probable pulse event since it often removes patches of Ascophyllum, mussels, and barnacles (e.g., for effects of ice on Ascophyllum and other fucoids, see Mathieson et al.

By grazing ephemeral filamentous algae, periwinkles facilitate colonization of larger fleshy macroalgae, such as fucoids and Chondrus crispus (Lubchenco 1980, Lubchenco 1983, Scheibling et al.
