Abstract

In the coastal waters of the Pacific Northwest Region it was found that Iridaea cordata is excluded from areas below its normal distribution by a competitive interaction with more rapidly growing kelps, especially Laminaria saccharina. In areas cleared of kelps, I. cordata grew to cover 20% of the bottom from a natural settlement of spores.
