Home›Seaweeds and Macroalgae›Diet›Photosynthetic AutotrophBrowse ByPhotosynthetic AutotrophDiet groups species by what they mainly eat: herbivores that feed on plants, carnivores that feed on other animals, omnivores that eat both, and narrower feeding styles such as insectivores, piscivores, filter feeders, detritivores and scavengers, and parasitic species that live on or in a host. A species is placed by its own typical adult feeding behavior as described on its page, not by an occasional or unusual meal.FactsPhotosynthetic AutotrophSourcesComments (0)Reader Challenges (0)FactsComparisonReproductive ModeWell-attestedSpores 1Photosynthetic AutotrophFilter Results35 entriesCommon GroupAllGreen Seaweeds (Ulva, Codium and Caulerpa) (9)Kelps (Laminariales) (6)Other Brown Algae (4)Red Algae (Rhodophyta) (6)Stoneworts (Charales) (3)Wracks and Sargassum (Fucales) (6)TaxonomyAllCharophyceae (3)Chlorophyta (7)Florideophyceae (3)Ochrophyta (1)Phaeophyceae (15)Rhodophyta (3)HabitatAllCoral Reef (2)Freshwater (3)Intertidal Zone (8)Kelp Forest (1)Marine (6)Conservation StatusAllNot Evaluated (21)EcosystemAllArctic Ocean (1)Coral Reef Systems (1)Gulf of California (2)Kelp Forests (2)Lake Baikal (1)Sargasso Sea (2)Svalbard (1)Everyday GroupAllGreen Seaweeds (Ulva, Codium and Caulerpa) (9)Kelps (Laminariales) (6)Other Brown Algae (4)Red Algae (Rhodophyta) (6)Stoneworts (Charales) (3)Wracks and Sargassum (Fucales) (6)System (Realm)AllFreshwater (7)Marine (30)Terrestrial (1)Terrestrial, Freshwater and Marine (1)Relationship to PeopleAllEaten or Drunk by People (10)Farmed or Commercially Raised (5)Hunted or Fished (1)Invasive or Introduced Species (3)Kept as Pets (1)Used in Traditional Medicine (2)Living or ExtinctAllYes (18)Where It LivesAllArgentina (1)Australia (2)Belgium (7)Brazil (6)Canada (1)China (2)Croatia (1)Denmark (17)Europe (1)France (4)Iceland (1)Ireland (3)Israel (2)Japan (3)Lebanon (2)Mexico (4)Netherlands (4)New Zealand (4)North America (1)Norway (21)Philippines (1)Poland (1)Portugal (5)Romania (1)Russia (2)Sweden (18)Taiwan (5)The Antarctic (1)The Caribbean (2)Turkey (2)Ukraine (1)United Kingdom (3)United States (4)Show ResultsBrowseCompareSelect all 35BladderwrackPhotosynthetic AutotrophBrown AlgaePhotosynthetic AutotrophBull KelpPhotosynthetic AutotrophCaulerpaPhotosynthetic AutotrophChara VulgarisPhotosynthetic AutotrophChondrus CrispusPhotosynthetic AutotrophChorda filumPhotosynthetic AutotrophCodiumPhotosynthetic AutotrophCommon StonewortPhotosynthetic AutotrophCoralline AlgaePhotosynthetic AutotrophDesmarestia viridisPhotosynthetic AutotrophDulsePhotosynthetic AutotrophEctocarpus SiliculosusPhotosynthetic AutotrophFucus VesiculosusPhotosynthetic AutotrophGiant KelpPhotosynthetic AutotrophGreen AlgaePhotosynthetic AutotrophGutweedPhotosynthetic AutotrophIrish MossPhotosynthetic AutotrophKiller AlgaePhotosynthetic AutotrophKnotted WrackPhotosynthetic AutotrophKombuPhotosynthetic AutotrophMermaid's WineglassPhotosynthetic AutotrophNoriPhotosynthetic AutotrophOarweedPhotosynthetic AutotrophPorphyra UmbilicalisPhotosynthetic AutotrophRockweedPhotosynthetic AutotrophSargassumPhotosynthetic AutotrophSea GrapesPhotosynthetic AutotrophSea LettucePhotosynthetic AutotrophSerrated WrackPhotosynthetic AutotrophStonewortPhotosynthetic AutotrophSugar KelpPhotosynthetic AutotrophUlva IntestinalisPhotosynthetic AutotrophUlva LactucaPhotosynthetic AutotrophWakamePhotosynthetic AutotrophSources1.
