MarineBasis Nuuk - Benthic vegetation - Ascophyllum nodosum - size, age frequency distribution

Relative frequency distribution of the length and minimum-age of Ascophyllum nodosum individuals analysed across ten permanent plots (0.25x0.25 cm) situated in the mid-tidal zone of Kobbefjord. Data from the 10 plots were combined comprising a total of 73-78 marked individual. Minimum-age was assesed as the number of bladders in the longest shoot of each individual.
