Figure 11. Fibrous brown biofilms that grow in narrow low areas of the landscape of the middle and upper pseudolittoral in presence of water flow. General view of biofilms in a thin layer of water flowing to the sea (a) and fragments of diatom microfouling on the surface of Enteromorpha sp. (b, c). Designations: csh - colonial settlements of Halamphora borealis, ad – araphid diatoms, e.g. Tabularia fasciculata. Scale bar: a - 5 cm, b – 100 µm, c- 10 µm.
