Description 107-110
Maximum development of plants occurs in the intertidal region at Kilakarai, southeast coast of India, during March-April and January-February in G. arcuata var. arcuata and from November to February in G. corticata var. cylindrica. Tetrasporic plants are abundant almost throughout the year in both algae. Peak shedding of spores occurs during the maximum growth period in G. arcuata var. arcuata while seasonal variations are not observed in the discharge of spores in G. corticata var. cylindrica. Monthly output of tetraspores and carpospores varies from 43 to 28.291 and from 10 to 40.055 spores g-1 fr wt in G. arcuata var. arcuata and G. corticata var. cylindrica respectively. There is no definite rhythm in diurnal output in these algae.
