Association with Cystoseira tamariscifolia and Saccorhiza polyschides

The association with Cystoseira tamariscifolia and Saccorhiza polyschides is characteristic of the higher infralittoral area (near the surface up to 2 meters down) where it lives in the photophilous biotopes where there is strong wave action. It is found in biotopes where the water is cooled by the rising of deep water.$$$On the European Atlantic coast and that of Morocco in the Strait of Gibraltar, Cystoseira tamariscifolia constitutes an autonomous association. Saccorhiza polyschides also exists, with Laminaria ochroleuca in detritic bottoms between 45 and 85 meters down.
