TLDR
An energy budget was constructed for Calliopius laeviusculus (Kroyer), an opportunistic omnivore, suggesting catabolism of mixed substrates for energy utilization.About:

Floating clumps of seaweed around Iceland: natural microcosms and a means of dispersal for shore fauna
TL;DR: Results indicate that rafting on floating seaweed is a mechanism whereby many intertidal animal species can be dispersed over long distances, possibly hundreds of kilometers or more.

The effects of diet mixing on consumer fitness: macroalgae, epiphytes, and animal matter as food for marine amphipods.
Edwin Cruz-Rivera,Mark E. Hay +1 more
TL;DR: Diet mixing may benefit more mobile consumers like Gammarus that are better able to search for different foods, and may be less important for more sedentary herbivores like Ampithoe and Cymadusa that consume, and live in close association with, individual host plants.

Temporal and spatial variation in the density of mobile epifauna and grazing damage on the seaweed Ascophyllum nodosum
TL;DR: The results of this study showed that grazing damage increased the probability of breakage, especially of shorter fronds, which suggests that grazingDamage affects the demography of shoots and plants, increasing the transition probabilities to smaller sizes.

The Evolution of Thallus Form and Survival Strategies in Benthic Marine Macroalgae: Field and Laboratory Tests of a Functional Form Model
Mark M. Littler,Diane S. Littler +1 more
TL;DR: Data on succession, productivity, and toughness indicate that E. menziesii shifts from an opportunistic strategy during its juvenile stages to a highly differentiated complex form able to persist in mature successional stages, thus implicating selection for persistence as opposed to rapid growth in climax communities.

Seaweeds: Their Productivity and Strategy for Growth: The role of large marine algae in coastal productivity is far more important than has been suspected.
TL;DR: While the intertidal zone is inhabited primarily by the fucoids, or rockweeds, the sublittoral is dominated by fish, and the growth of seaweeds below lowtide level, in the sub littoral, is far richer than in the interTidal areas.
