Abstract(s)
Along the west coast of North America, three species of Fucus are reported to occur: F. gardneri Silva, F. spiralis Linnaeus, and the controversial F. cottonii Wynne & Magne.
Our study investigates the identity of F. cottonii in this area and compares it with isolates from the NortheasternAtlantic. The thalli from both areas vegetatively resemble one another, lacking midribs, and they occur in similar salt marsh habitats.
