Durvillaea incurvata is a large, robust species of southern bull kelp endemic to Chile.

Description

Durvillaea incurvata has unbranched stipes, and many holes occur on the primary and secondary blades.[1]

Distribution

Durvillaea fenestrata is endemic to Chile from the coasts of Coquimbo to Betecoi Island in Guaitecas Archipelago.[1][2]

Human use

Along with D. antarctica, D. incurvata is used in Chilean cuisine. The Mapuche call the species kollof and in Quechua the stipes are called ulte or huilte, and the blades are cochayuyo.[1]
