Abstract
Fucus evanescens is recorded for the first time in Kiel Bight (western Baltic). It is now common at several sites in the lower zone of F. ve siculosus. Its arrival to the area and especially its increase in abun dance seem to be recent. Epiphyte load in late spring was significantl y higher on F. vesiculosus (20%) than on F. evanescens (5%). The immig ration of F. evanescens from Danish waters may be connected to the dec line in abundance of F. vesiculosus and F. serratus in the western Bal tic.
