Pseudoalteromonas issachenkonii is a marine bacterium which was isolated from the brown alga Fucus evanescens near the Kurile Islands.
Fucus virsoides is a species of brown alga endemic to the Adriatic Sea. The Bay of Kotor was defined as one of the southernmost limits of Fucus virsoides.
Fucophlorethol A is a phlorotannin found in the brown alga Fucus vesiculosus.
Silvetia is a genus of brown algae, commonly known as rockweed, found in the intertidal zone of rocky seashores of the Pacific Ocean. These were originally classified as members of the genus Pelvetia. In 1999, Silvetia sp. was created as a separate species from Pelvetia canaliculata due to differences of oogonium structure and of nucleic acid sequences of the rDNA. It was renamed in honor of Paul Silva, Curator of Algae at the Herbarium of the University of California, Berkeley. There are three species and one subspecies.
