Durvillaea is a genus in the order Fucales and, though superficially similar in ...
Durvillaea bull kelp grow within intertidal and shallow subtidal areas, typically on rocky wave-exposed coastal sites. [15] D. antarctica and D. poha are intertidal, whereas D. willana is subtidal (to 6 m depths). [18] Intertidal species can grow at the uppermost limit of the intertidal zone if there is sufficient wave wash. [19]

In 2012, a taxonomic revision led to the recognition of a new species, Durvillaea poha, based on genetic, morphological and ecological evidence, [3] which was previously recognised as the 'cape' lineage of Durvillaea antarctica. [3] [11] [12] D. poha is the only other species in the genus to share the honeycombed structure and buoyancy of D ...
