Abstract: Paper documents some of the major seasonal cycles which occur amongst the principal components of the Dorn (Strangford Lough) Fucus serratus community. Three study sites were chosen based on their contrasting physical characteristics. Sites were sampled at approximately monthly intervals over a two year period. Abundance of F. serratus was investigated and a total of 59 plants collected and examined for their epifaunal community.
