Marine Botany
Samples of Ascophylum nodosum were taken, to test the distribution of its red algal epiphyte, Polysiphonia lanosa, over their intertidal growth range. These samples were taken at Green’s Point and Brandy Cove, New Brunswick. These two sites have different physical properties, with Green’s Point bein...
