Submerged fucoids, green or red seaweeds (low salinity infralittoral rock)
English name:
Submerged fucoids, green or red seaweeds (low salinity infralittoral rock)
Description (English)
Very shallow submerged rocky habitats in lagoons, subject to reduced or permanently low salinity conditions. These particular conditions lead to a variety of seaweed-dominated communities, which include fucoids and green filamentous species. The fucoids, more typical of intertidal habitats, penetrate into the subtidal under the reduced salinity conditions which are not tolerated by kelps.
