Abstract
Shoots of Zostera marina L. were collected from Roberts Bank in southwestern British Columbia (Canada) over a 10-month period and assayed for phenolic compounds. The Folin-Denis method was used to estimate the total phenol content of the shoots. The concentration of phenols varied seasonally from a low in the late winter/early spring of 0.65% dry weight to a high at the end of the active growing season of 1.54% dry weight. The ecological implications of these findings are discussed.
