Studies on the associate flora in the mangrove environment of Goa, India
Abstract
Ecological observations have been made on marine algae and seagrasses from the mangrove environment of Goa, India. Plant samples along with thallus and rhizoides were collected from nine stations; viz. Mandovi (M1-M3), Zuari (Z1-Z3) and Terekhol (T1-T3) in every month. These samples were washed thoroughly and presented in 4% formalin for further identification. A total of 44 species of marine algae belonging to 30 genera have been reported. The distribution of these species was very seasonal. The seagrass species Halophila beccarii was observed to be associated in the mangrove environment of Goa
