Design an investigation to see if there is a significant relationship between the number of bladders and the length of longest frond in Fucus species of seaweed at two different locations on a rocky shore Introduction: Robin Hood's Bay is situated on the Yorkshire coast of England. It is a well-studied, large rocky shore and consists of shelved rocks which form a series of ledges and gullies. This shelved structure of the shore enables it to be clearly identified as three separate areas; lower, middle and upper shores. The bay is home to a range of organisms, including Fucus vesiculosus, which is also known as 'bladder wrack', due to its structure. Fucus vesiculosus is brown/green algae, easily recognised by its paired bladders occurring on either side of a prominent midrib.
