	Biology of the Macrocystis resource in North America
		Macrocystis was harvested maximally from 1916 to 1918 and from at least 1955 onward because of favorable economics.

	Kelp forest - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Kelp forests are a type of marine ecosystem established around colonies of kelp; they contain rich biodiversity.
		Kelp can stretch 2-30 meters or more (up to 60 m in Macrocystis pyrifera) from their anchors on the sea floor to the surface, providing a vertical infrastructure that is home to many fish and invertebrate species.
		Therefore, kelp forests rapidly reach a "mature" status, in striking contrast to terrestrial forests which may take hundreds of years to mature (see old growth forest).

	IDENTIFYING REGIONS OF PERSISTENT GIANT KELP (Macrocystis pyrifera) AROUND SANTA CATALINA ISLAND FOR DESIGNATION AS ...
		Macrocystis pyrifera is an important species in the marine environment, serving both as structural habitat and food for a wide range of marine invertebrates and fishes.
		The response of Macrocystis pyrifera to the disturbance regime around Santa Catalina Island, and therefore its persistence in the face of disturbance, is a complex issue due to the varying geographic impact of disturbance events and the wide range of microhabitats afforded by the island's coastline.
		Macrocystis is a perennial alga, with individual plants surviving for several years and entire kelp beds potentially even longer.

	MACROCYSTIS PYRIFERA, GIANT BLADDER KELP
		Macrocystis pyrifera, or giant bladder kelp, is sometimes referred to as the sequoia of the sea.
		The term kelp forest refers to the dense growths of Nereocystis, Macrocystis and Pelagophycus while the term kelp "beds" is used to refer to the smaller laminariales or brown algae which have limited vertical structure and canopies.
		Macrocystis is a perennial kelp with the holdfast surviving 4 to 10 years and the individual fronds 6 to 12 months.

	Macrocystis integrifolia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Macrocystis (Greek=Large bladder), the largest of all seaweeds, is represented by two species along the shoresof British Columbia.
		Macrocystis integrifolia is the most common species, distributed from Alaska to Monterrey, where it normally inhabits the lower intertidal and upper subtidal regions in areas subjected to moderate waves.
		Macrocystis pyifera is distributed from Monterrey to Mexico with suspected populations in northern BC and Alaska.

	Algae
		The most remarkable of the seaweeds, as regards size and the extent of range, are Macrocystis pyrifera and Laminaria radiata.
		Masses of Macrocystis, like green meadows, are found in every latitude.
		Many specimens have been seen about 300 feet long; some even extend to 700 feet or upwards.

		7 Density of Macrocystis pyrifera Juveniles from 1997 to 1999.................................................................................................................................26
		The analysis of the size class information indicated that a large percentage of the kelp plants were recruits and juveniles, which corresponded to a general lack of canopy and secondly, that kelp recruitment was occurring.
		Macrocystis density at Imperial Beach, Swami’s, and North Carlsbad decreased in 1998 compared to 1997 although recovery at Point Loma and Cardiff appeared greater (Figure 5).

	Estes Lab - University of California Santa Cruz
		The Giant Kelp, Macrocystis pyrifera, is a perennial canopy-forming alga, which provides much of the structure and biomass of central and southern California kelp forests.
		A plot of mean Macrocystis count and mean holdfast diameter over time reveals an inverse relationship between the two (figure 6).
		At Dutch Harbor, where grazing is insignificant, Macrocystis populations fluctuate on a cyclical pattern, which is at least in part a result of intraspecific competition.

		Kelp forests occur in cold, nutrient-rich water and are among the most beautiful and biologically productive habitats in the marine environment.
		In southern California, the Macrocystis can grow 30 cm per day.
		The large fronds spread along the surface, gathering light energy for photosynthesis, and are held afloat by the bulbous float, seen at the base of the fronds.

	Kelp Forests
		Kelps such as Macrocystis and Nereocystis have floats that keep fronds at the water surface.
