Abstract

Optimum and limiting temperature demands for growth and survival were determined in 14 species from the Antarctidcold-temperate region and in 7 cold-temperate species from southern Chile. The growth response was tested in steps of 5 ° C from 0 to 25OC. In Antarcticlcold-temperate macroalgae 4 groups with different temperature-growth-ranges could b e distinguished. The highest possible growth temperature was 5°C in Iridaea cordata (
