This paper provides the first comprehensive checklist of the seaweeds of Cyprus, based on both literature records and new collections. The total number of species and infraspecific taxa currently accepted is 313, including 53 green algae (Ulvophyceae), 90 brown algae (Phaeophyceae), and 170 red algae (Rhodophyta). Among them, 30 taxa are reported for the first time from Cyprus: 7 green algae, 9 brown algae, and 14 red algae, while 9 taxa are regarded as aliens. In addition, 10 taxa pending confirmation of their presence, 3 excludenda, and 3 inquirenda are briefly discussed.
In this paper, 47 taxa (15 Chroococcales, 20 Oscillatoriales, and 12 Nostocales) of Cyanobacteria that were collected along the coasts of Northern Cyprus (Eastern Mediterranean Sea) are reported.
Abstract-In present study, biochemical compositions (ash, lipid and protein) of five different macroalgae ((Green Algae (Chaetomorpha linum and Caulerpa prolifera), Red Algae (Pterocladiella capillacea), Brown Algae (Sargassum vulgare and Cystoseira amentacea)) and Angiosperms/Seagrass (Halophila stipulace) collected from Iskenderun Bay (Arsuz and Kale regions) in July 2019 were determined. The differences observed between biochemical compositions such as ash, lipid and protein of five macroalgae species and Angiosperms/Seagrass (Halophila stipulace) were statistically significant (p
