Distributional success of the marine seaweed Fucus vesiculosus L. in the brackish Baltic Sea correlates with osmotic capabilities of Baltic gametes

To understand the unique success of the marine seaweed Fucus vesiculosus L. (Phaeophyceae) in the brackish Baltic Sea, the performance of gametes from Baltic [4.1-6.5‰S (Salinity)] and marine populations was studied. Sperm from Baltic F. vesiculosus swam with a path velocity of c. 30-110 μm/s and co...
