Floristic study of the benthic algae of Bahia Asuncion, Baja California Sur, Mexico
Five samplings of benthic marine algae were carried out at Isla Asunción and Bahía Asunción, B.C.S., during 1988 and 1989. In total, 113 species of benthic marine algae were found. Three species of Cyanophyta, 78 species of Rhodophyta, 19 species of Phaeophyta and 13 species of Chlorophyta were dete...

| Sumario: | Five samplings of benthic marine algae were carried out at Isla Asunción and Bahía Asunción, B.C.S., during 1988 and 1989. In total, 113 species of benthic marine algae were found. Three species of Cyanophyta, 78 species of Rhodophyta, 19 species of Phaeophyta and 13 species of Chlorophyta were determined. The floristic list includes data on the reproductive stage, tidal level, type of coast, substrate and epiphytism of the species found. Macrocystis pyrifera, Eisenia arborea and Corallina oficinalis var. chilensis are the principal components of the benthic vegetation of Asunción Island. The species composition found in Bahía Asunción is representative of the flora associated with Macrocytis pyrifera beds from the southern area of Baja California. The Rhodophyta are dominant in terms of diversity. |
