Abstract

Seaweeds often provide both habitat and food for several groups of animals (Brawley, 1992). Tide pools constitute a remarkable feature that community structures of seaweeds and animals are different from those of intertidal zone. Neorhodomela auculeata(Perestenko) Masuda and Ceramium kondoi Yendo grow in tide pools where Littorina sp. is abundant (Lee et al., 2000). (omitted)
