Extract

The responses to light and temperature variations of the gametophytes and early sporophytes of Laminaria hyperborean were compared in culture with those of its main competitors in Britain, namely L. digitata, L. saccharina and Saccorhiza polyschides. Some undeveloped gametophytes of all species are able to survive in the dark for at least 80 days.
