Attachment and early development of thetetraspores of some coralline red algae
1973
Corallina officinalis L. and Jama rubens (L.) Lamour, are both members
of the Corallinaceae; until fairly recently their similarity led to their being placed
in the same genus, as, for instance by Newton (1932) but the separation is now
accepted and Johansen (1970) has shown that important differences exist,
particularly in the reproductive structures. Ecologically there are additional
differences : CoralUna officinalis is a Uthophyte occurring on a wide range of
shores, both sheltered and exposed, throughout the cooler waters (0°C-20°C
surface temperature) of the Northern Hemisphere. It is common on all coasts
of the British Isles in littoral pools, on lower littoral rock and extends into the
sub-littoral. Jarda rubens is found in warmer waters (10°C-30°C) and in the
British Isles is common .only on the more temperate coasts, including the Channel
Islands, Southern England west of the Isle of Wight, Ireland and northwards
to Anglesey on the coast of Wales.
