Proximal analysis of seagrass species from Laguna de Términos, Mexico

This paper examines chemical nutritional aspects of three seagrass species (Thalassia testudinum König, Halodule wrightii Ascherson, and Syringodium filiforme Kützing) found at Laguna de Términos, Campeche, Mexico during the rainy season of 2004, following analysis methods described by the Associati...
