From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Durvillaea is a genus of brown algae (class Phaeophyceae) of the order Fucales. It is named after French explorer Jules Dumont d'Urville [1790-1842].[1] There are currently six recognised species within the genus, with the type species Durvillaea antarctica (Chamisso) Hariot [2]. All members of the genus are found in the southern hemisphere, particularly New Zealand, South America, Australia and various subantarctic islands. Many Durvillaea species are referred to as bull kelp, which is a common name for a large kelp.[3][4]
