Species found in a small upper-middleshore pool south of Mousehole, Cornwall. 23.04.15.
No attempt will be made to determine species as Cladophora are extremely difficult to identify to species level. The Cladophora species here appears to have been grazed by the Common periwinkle, Littorina littorea.
AlgaeBase is a database of information on algae that includes terrestrial, marine and freshwater organisms.
The main objective of this website is in furthering environmental awareness and education through the medium of photography. To increase awareness and access to the wildlife of the region and help
people find and identify it. Sometimes the difference between species is obvious but many species can only be determined by observing microscopic characteristics that are specific to any one species.
