Composition and Distribution of Deep Water Macroalgae Species from the Continental Shelf of Sergipe State, Brazil

Abstract: This study investigates the deep-water flora of the continental shelf in Sergipe State, Brazil located between 10 º 36'08'' -11 º 21'07''S and 36 º 28'10'' -37 º 13'47''W. The samples were collected by dragging at 18 sampling sites, between 10 to 30 m depth, from May 1999 to March 2000. A total of 91 taxa of marine benthic macroalgae were identified (56 Rhodophyta, 20 Heterokontophyta and 15 Chlorophyta). Forty-seven (47) of these are new occurrences for Sergipe flora. Rhodophyta dominated, accounting for 61% … Show more

“…The continental shelf of Sergipe is considered one of the narrower shelves of Brazil (PEREIRA et al, 2014), shallow and with reduced width, ranging between 12 and 34.9 km with a gentle slope (1:1000) (LEMOS-JUNIOR et al 2014). The coastal zone of Sergipe presents a coastline of 163 km and is confined by the São Francisco river mouth, which separates the Alagoas State, in the north and the Piauí-Fundo-Real estuarine complex mouth, which separates the Bahia State, in the south (CARVALHO and FONTES, 2007).…”
