“…Thus, Sargassum sinicola from El Cajete exhibited its maximum growth rate a month before reaching its maximum size (April) (Espinoza and Rodriguez, 1987), a difference in time between these two measurements, which is similar for the Sargassum species studied by Ang (1985). This difference, of one month, can also be observed for S. pteropleuron, comparing Figure 3 and Table 2 in Prince and O'Neal (1979).…”

“…These basal parts are slow-or non-growing at that time, a situation that the epiphytes can use to take advantage, for growing. In fact, it was obsetved (Table 1), that the greater biomass of epiphytes was present in Las Pacas plants, where less solar radiation (in comparison to El Cajete site) reaches the bottom (data in Espinoza and Rodriguez, 1987). las plantas epífitas fueron más numerosas cuando las plantas de Satgassum sp.…”

“…One of the other species of the genus from La Paz Bay, S. horridum, also showed its reproductive period mainly in the spring when studied in 1983-84 (Muneton-Gomez 1989. However, another local species, S. sinicola, showed a more extended reproductive period when studied in 1983-85, comprising the spring and the summer (Espinoza & Rodriguez 1987), which is related to its overall longer persistence during the warm season in this region. Reproductive phenology also varies for other Sargassum species across the Gulf of California.…”

“…The highest length ever recorded for S. lapazeanum fronds from our study site at Piedras Coloradas was 1.34 m in the spring (May) of 1999 (R. Scrosati, unpublished data). S. sinicola from La Paz Bay reaches its highest values of frond length generally also in spring (Espinoza & Rodriguez 1987). In general, the other local species of Sargassum, which occur in deeper waters, may produce longer fronds, of a few meters long.…”

We studied the population dynamics of Sargassum iapazeanum from the southwestern Gulf of California, Mexico, between February 2000 and February 2001. We quantified the seasonal changes in frond density, stand biomass, frond size structure and inequality, presence of reproductive structures, and rates of recruitment, growth, and mortality. Fronds were present during the entire year, although with a marked seasonality: mean frond density, frond length, and stand biomass were highest in spring and lowest in winter. The strong increase in frond density between winter and spring resulted from the combination of high recruitment and low mortality rates. Growth rates were highest in spring; the highest absolute value (3.6 cm d"') is among the highest found for brown seaweeds. The frond size structure became best developed in late spring. Reproductive structures peaked in abundance in late spring and became mostly lost by late summer. Senescence started in late spring and increased dramatically during the summer. The strong decrease in frond density between summer and autumn resulted from the combination of low recruitment and high mortality rates. In early autumn, primarily only small fronds remained in the population, including new recruits and remnants of previously large fronds. The seasonal pattern in the temporal abundance changes for S. lapazeanum agrees with a general model proposed for subtropical species of this genus.
