Photosynthetic activity of macroalgae along a bathymetric gradient: interspecific and seasonal variability

Marine macroalgae are unevenly distributed with depth, with substitutions of the dominant species along the bathymetric gradient. Since light shows a sharp decrease with depth and is a critical factor for algal growth, we hypothesize that species dominating at a certain depth are the best adapted to...
