Abstract

Laboratory experiments concerning the development of marine algae most frequently employ glass as a substratum. A study involving scanning electron microscopy indicates that for species of Fucus this is a very artificial substratum resulting in young plants whose morphology differs markedly from that encountered on more natural substrata of rocks from the seashore. An experiment is also described to relate the strength of the attachment of the germlings to glass with increased time, following fertilization.
