Green Sea Turtle

A tartaruga-verde (Chelonia mydas) é uma das maiores tartarugas marinhas. Seu nome vem da cor verde da cartilagem e gordura, não do casco.

Laminariocolax tomentosoides é uma alga parda microscópica da ordem Ectocarpales que vive como endófita no tecido de quelpos e outras algas pardas de grande porte. Forma uma camada de filamentos ramificados dentro das células corticais de seu hospedeiro e pode causar descoloração marrom visível e danos nos tecidos. Avaliada como Pouco Preocupante, está amplamente distribuída ao longo de costas rochosas temperadas.
