Abstract

Boodlea composita (Harv.) F.Brand (Chlorophyta) no litoral nordeste do Brasil ABSTRACT(Boodlea composita (Harv.) F.Brand (Chlorophyta) in the northeastern coast of Brazil). Th is study reports the fi rst occurrence of Boodlea composita (Harv.) F.Brand (Chlorophyta) to the northeastern coast of Brazil and the second record for the Brazilian coast. Th e material was collected along the coast of Bahia (08º20'07"-18º20'07''S and 30º20'37"-46º36'59"W). Th e distribution of B. composita was expanded along the coast of Brazil, since this was known only to the Southeast, specifi cally to Cabo Frio, Rio de Janeiro. In American Atlantic, B. composita presents northern limit of distribution in Bermuda and southern limit at Rio de Janeiro.

Levels and spatial distribution of trace elements in macroalgae species from the Todos os Santos Bay, Bahia, Brazil

“…Although the TSB has a relatively rich flora of macroalgae (Alves, 2008;Alves and Moura, 2005;Alves et al, 2009Alves et al, , 2010Alves et al, , 2011Alves et al, , 2012Amorim et al;2008;Bandeira-Pedrosa et al, 2004;Barreto et al, 2004;Leite, 1982;Marins et al, 2008;Nunes and Paula, 2000;Nunes and Guimarães, 2008;Santos et al, 2008;Santos, 2010;Santos and Moura, 2011), trace metal levels in algae from TSB have not been well studied. Only one study was conducted (Amado Filho et al, 2008), employing Padina gymnospora (Kutzing), Sonder 1871 and Sargassum sp.…”
