[6] [7] Specimens of D. antarctica have been found to float for up to 210 days, during which time high wind speeds transport kelp rafts up to 10,000 km. [6] [7] Environmental factors such as temperature, solar radiation and surface winds (all of which vary with latitude) affect buoyancy of southern bull kelp rafts and their rate of travel. [6]
Holdfasts of D. antarctica are often inhabited by a diverse array of epifaunal invertebrates, many of which burrow into and graze on the kelp. [25] In New Zealand, epifaunal species include the crustaceans Parawaldeckia kidderi, P. karaka [25] and Limnoria stephenseni, and the molluscs Cantharidus roseus, Onchidella marginata, [26] Onithochiton ...

The species can be confused with Durvillaea amatheiae, which has an overlapping geographic distribution. [1] [2] D. potatorum has a shorter, wider stipe with more limited lateral blade development, whereas D. amatheiae has a shorter, narrow stipe and typically prolific lateral blade development.
