Abstract
Laminaria species form extensive beds on marine rocky coasts of mainly northern hemisphere cold-temperate regions. For example, three species are found together at Helgoland (North Sea): L. digitata, L. hyperborea, and L. saccharina, inhabiting the sublitoral region in about 0-4 m below mean low water spring tide. L. hyperborea is restricted to the deeper region of the kelp zone (1-4, max. 8 m below M.L.W.S.T. at Helgoland) [Lüning 1985], In this plant community, the large Laminaria sporophytes are the ecologically dominating organisms.
