Abstract
Lough Ine (Co. Cork, Eire) is connected with the sea by a narrow channel known as the Rapids through which tidal currents are swift. During most of the period of outflow the rate is independent of the level of the sea, the max. being 3 m./sec. The rate of inflow is not as great. Most of the bottom is covered by the alga Saccorhiza bulbosa, while Laminaria digitata is dominant on the narrowest shallowest part and L. saccharina in areas sheltered from the current.This publication has 2 references indexed in Scilit:
