[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 ...
There are still huge challenges to overcome before California's bull kelp is on the path to recovery. But scientists say the progress has relieved fears the forests were lost forever.
Third Eye Blind’s singer, Stephan Jenkins, spoke to SPIN about environmental conservation, reducing plastic waste, and, most particularly, about the importance of reforesting California’s ...
Nereocystis (Greek, 'mermaid's bladder') is a monotypic genus of subtidal kelp containing the species Nereocystis luetkeana. [1] Some English names include edible kelp, bull kelp, bullwhip kelp, ribbon kelp, bladder wrack, and variations of these names. [2]
Blades from southern bull kelp (rimurapa in Māori) [1] [2] [3] species such as Durvillaea antarctica and D. poha (named after the pōhā) [4] [5] were used to construct the bags. [1] The kelp blades have a 'honeycomb' structure, [6] [7] which allows them to be split open, hollowed out (pōhā hau) and inflated into containers.
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.
