Description Biology and Ecology Laminaria digitata (kelp) is a brown seaweed belonging to the order Laminariales, a group that typifies the grandiose nature of the submarine world. It is one of the largest seaweeds occurring on European coasts, extending from Brittany to Spitzbergen. Its glossy brown thallus can reach 3 to 4 m in length. It has a cylindrical, smooth, flexible stem called a stipe and a thallus divided into laminae. This thallus is fixed by a holdfast to the rocks near or below the low tide level down to a depth of 10 m. This type of seaweed is considered to be the anatomically most advanced. One of the specialities of the kelps is their high concentration of extractable alginates, which give them their flexibility allowing them to withstand the pounding of the waves. Harvesting Kelps are harvested from boats from May to September mainly on the Molène archipelago at the very western tip of Brittany, in the clear turbulent waters of the Atlantic, where a wide range of seaweeds grow in the absence of any pollution.  |
