Description Marine macro algae, popularly known as
seaweeds belong to non-flowering plants and
inhabit the marine ecosystem. These autotrophic
plants are commonly found in intertidal as well as in
the subtidal regions of the sea. Based on
morphology, cellwall and pigment composition, they
are classified into green (Chlorophyceae), red
(Rhodophyceae) and brown (Phaeophyceae) algae
(Chapman, 1970). In India, certain coastal pockets
of the peninsular coast comprising nine maritime
states and Andaman-Nicobar as well as the
Laccadive Archipelago harbour dense beds of these
marine algae that can be exploited for commercial
purposes. More than 10,000 species of marine algae
have been reported from all over the world.
