Kelp associated epiphytes and their level of
biomass production in relation to wave-exposure
and season.
Concluding remarks Level of exposure has an
effect on biomass, and possibly on species
composition of floral epiphytes associated with
Laminaria hyperborea. Epiphytic and understory
algae are an important food source for a number
of different faunal groups. Figuring out the
connection between level of exposure and level
of primary production, could be useful in
estimating the possible level of secondary
production in an area. This would be valuable
information for resource management.
