Abstract The vesiculation and branching of Fucus vesiculosus L. were examined on plants from three different locations on the Maine Coast, USA. These localities varied in exposure to wave action and salinity. Statistical analysis of population differences was computed for 10 morphometric characteristics. It was found that decreased salinity correlated with increased vesiculation and branching. Increased wave action correlated with decreased vesiculation. Position within vertical range was not a factor in either vesiculation or branching.
