A black and white orca swims through blue water from left to right with a piece of bull kelp balanced on the back of its head. Text on the screen identifies the images as created by the Center for Whale Research, under permit 27038 from the National Marine Fisheries Service and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration

Guess who else loves kelp? Orcas in the Pacific Northwest! Cool findings from @whaleresearch.bsky.social: www.science.org/content/arti... #algae #ToolUse #nereocystis #SalishSea #allokelping

A small bull kelp with a very unusual morphology. The stipe is wrinkled and twisted, while the blades arise from the side of the oblong pneumatocyst instead of the top

Today for #phycologyfriday: a rather unusual bull kelp that popped up in a lab tumble culture

It was a pretty short holiday break for me but it was fun to work on some marine-themed woodblock carvings and prints. #ctenophore #Postelsia #Nereocystis

Something for #PhycologyFriday. A #Bullkelp #Nereocystis holdfast, with negatively phototropic haptera. The tips are #meristoderms that grow away from light as you would expect if you were trying to attach to the bottom! They also make a great garnish in your kelp pickles. And they’re just lovely!

All the bull kelp in these artsy presses were entirely lab-grown grown in closed-system recirculating culture doi.org/10.1111/jpy....
