Sargassum fluitans – Artificial Sargassum Replica
IMPORTANT: ARTIFICIAL REPLICA
This product is a commercial-grade synthetic reproduction of Sargassum fluitans designed for aquarium, exhibit, zoological, museum, themed-environment, and habitat-display applications. It is not live, harvested, dried, or preserved seaweed.
Scientific Name Replicated: Sargassum fluitans
Common Name: Broadblade Sargassum
Number of Artificial Blades/Leaves: Multiple
Total Plant Width: Varies depending on the size and configuration purchased. See available options.
Plant Configuration: Individual artificial plants measure approximately 35 cm x 28 cm. Multiple plants are rotated, layered, and fused together to recreate the dimensional appearance and overlapping growth pattern of natural Sargassum. For example, the Small configuration consists of 8 individual plants connected together.
Color: Golden Brown
About the Natural Species Being Replicated
Sargassum fluitans is a free-floating brown seaweed found throughout the North Atlantic Ocean and is associated with the Great Atlantic Sargassum Belt (GASB). Natural Sargassum can form extensive seasonal accumulations stretching from the west coast of Africa toward the Caribbean and Gulf of Mexico.
In nature, Sargassum fluitans is characterized by broad, toothed blades, branching growth, and air-filled bladders that help it remain buoyant at the ocean surface. As a pelagic species, it drifts with winds and ocean currents and provides important habitat and food resources for a variety of marine life.
About the Pangea America Replica
The Pangea America Sargassum fluitans product is an artificial, synthetic habitat replica designed to recreate the layered, free-flowing appearance and golden-brown coloration of natural Sargassum while providing the durability required for aquarium and exhibit applications.
Multiple artificial plants are arranged and fused together to create fuller configurations that replicate the dimensional appearance of naturally occurring Sargassum growth.
