Description Ecology of Caloglossa leprieurii (Harvey) a benthic algal species from mangrove swamp was studied in relation to the climatological and hydrological factors. Maximum biomass of 11.7 g/m2 (wet weight) was recorded in October, which decreased during January and February to nil. The alga prefers diffused light, fairly high temperatures, high nutrients and optimum salinity ranging between 10 ppt to 20 ppt. Major metabolites showed 272.75 mg/g dry weight was recorded in September. Organic carbon ranged from 19.9% to 36%, while C:N ratio varied from 3 to 40
