Abstract
Winter fragmentation of the upright fronds of Codium fragile ssp. tomentosoides is recorded for the first time. Maximum fragmentation occurs from January to March in New England. Temperature is suggested as the causative factor. The largest fronds of Codium (i.e. those over 8 cm in length) are most susceptible to fragmentation.Keywords
