Figure 6


Fig. 6. Change in frontal area (AF) with water velocity for a subset of Chondrus representing the range of values observed. Initial increases in area at low water velocities (<0.2 m s–1) were due to an overall posture change of individuals. Subsequent decrease in area was due to crown compression. Different symbols represent individual algae.
