Fig. 2. Normalized area and drag coefficient as functions of velocity for three
representative species. (A) Each line is aU, the curve fit
of Eqn 2 to pooled data from
35 individuals of each species. (B) Each line is
CU, the curve fit of Eqn
3 to pooled data from 35 individuals of each species.
Species labeled as: Grateloupia (
,
), Agardhiella
(
) and Mastocarpus
(
). Form is denoted by the
color of the line, where black=blade-like, red=whip-like and
blue=tree-like.
