Morris & Campbell (1996) found that RSU fed with eelgrass grew almost 50% slower than those fed with bull kelp, Nereocystis luetkeana.
In contrast, northern Pacific canopy kelps are annuals (Alaria fistulosa and Nereocystis luetkeana [hereafter Nereocystis]) that afford much less midwater structure.
Abalone growth is more rapid in moderately exposed areas with giant, Macrocystis integrifolia, or bull, Nereocystis luetkeana, kelp forests than at highly exposed areas with Pterygophora californica kelp forests (Sloan & Breen 1988).
