Description 349-357
It was observed that seaweeds were not found continuously during study period but some species were observed only for short periods whereas other species occurred for two to three months. A total of 70 species has been recorded with highest number of Rhodophyta (51.42%) species than Phaeophyta (25.71%) and Chlorophyta (22.85%). From the recorded groups of seaweeds, carbohydrate and chlorophyll contents were higher in Chlorophyta while protein was maximum in Phaeophyta and Rhodophyta, respectively. On the other hand, phenol, flavonoids and carotenoids were recorded more in members of Phaeophyta.
