“…Physico-chemical parameters of the Red Sea influence the composition and the structure of the existing macroalgal communities including surface water temperature, light intensity and salinity (Osman and Mohammed, 2016). At the same time Murphy, 2007 reported that, environmental conditions like temperature, salinity and pH are one of the factors that effect on metal uptake by macroalgae.…”

The average contents of Zn, Cd, Cu, Co, Fe, Mn and Ni were measured seasonally in the ashes of Caulerpa racemosa, Cystoseira myrica, Digenea simplex, Hormophysa cuneiformis, Padina pavonica and Sargassum cinereum using Flame Atomic Absorption Spectrometry (AAS). The studied species were collected from three different sites along the northern part of the Red Sea coast during 2017. Cystoseira myrica recorded the highest Fe average (575.88 µg/g dry wt.) and Mn (164.12 µg/g dry wt.) in summer at Site II, Caulerpa racemosa recorded the highest Cu average (91.10µg/g dry wt.) at Site I in autumn, meanwhile Sargassum cinereum showed the highest averages of Zn and Co (33.88 and 16.56 µg/g dry wt.) in spring at sites II and III respectively. The highest averages Ni and Cd (10.46, 2.05 µg/g dry wt.) were observed in Padina pavonica at Site III in summer and spring seasons respectively. The obtained data indicated that the studied macroalgae have significant differential abilities to accumulate a certain heavy metals under the local conditions and it can be used as a good target for monitoring metals pollution in marine waters.

A taxonomic list of macro marine algae (seaweeds) described in the literature for the Red Sea during the years 1756–2020 is presented. The list was prepared using existing published studies, local monitoring reports, as well as “grey” or unpublished lists of seaweeds for the area. Altogether, we examined more than 300 publications and compiled more than 900 taxonomic names, of which 576 correspond to valid species, whilst 355 names were considered synonyms for these species. The phylum Chlorophyta (green seaweeds) was represented by 37 currently accepted genera and 133 species (including 74 species synonyms). The phylum Ochrophyta (Phaeophyceae only; brown seaweeds) was represented by 52 genera, 157 species and 99 synonyms; and the phylum Rhodophyta (red seaweeds) by 130 genera, 286 species and 182 synonyms. The brown seaweed Sargassum appears to be a particularly biodiverse genus in the area represented by 58 species and 26 synonyms. Our study shows the inconsistency and lack of long-term taxonomic studies and recent molecular investigations of seaweeds from nearly the whole Red Sea.
