This present investigation conducted on diversity and distribution analysis of the sub-littoral seaweed flora collected from January to June, 2007 from north part and south part of the Saint Martin Island, Bangladesh has revealed the presence of 37 seaweed taxa, 11 under Chlorophyceae, 14 under Phaeophyceae and 12 under Rhodophyceae. The distribution, diversity and abundance of seaweed flora fluctuate due to temperature, locations and species composition variations in Saint Martin Island.

Proximate Composition of Some Selected Seaweeds from Coastal Areas of Cox’s Bazar and the St. Martin’s Island, BangladeshThe present study assesses the proximate composition of eight wild seaweed species viz. Hypnea sp., Enteromorpha sp., Sargassum sp., Hydroclathrus clathratus, Padina pavonica, Colpomenia sinuosa, Petalonia fascia and Dictyota ciliolata and one cultured species viz. Hypnea sp. collected from western coast of the St. Martin’s Island and Nunairchhara, Cox’s Bazar, respectively. Standard analytical methods were used to estimate moisture, ash, lipid, crude fiber and protein contents, while carbohydrates were measured by subtracting ash, fat, fiber and protein contents from 100 on a dry weight basis. Results showed average moisture content in different seaweed species ranged between 12.09% to 29.65% and varied from species to species. Maximum ash content was found in brown seaweed H. clathratus (61.98%), while the lowest was recorded in wild red algae Hypnea sp. (7.05%). This study showed mean lipid contents in all seaweed species were much lower than other contents of proximate compositi...
A survey was conducted to know the present status of naturally occurring seaweed flora and their utilization in Bangladesh by interviews of scientific officers of MFTS (Marine Fisheries and Technology Station, Bangladesh Fisheries Research Institute, Cox’s Bazar), NGO officials associated with seaweed research project, local seaweed food products manufacturer, seaweed collectors and Mog or Rakhyine tribal community of Cox’s Bazar and St. Martin Island. Lack of knowledge on availability, distribution, seasonal variation, utilization status is causing impediment on utilization (e.g. seaweeds as human food, hydrocolloids, animal feed, fertilizer, cosmetic products, etc.) of available seaweeds naturally occurring in Bangladesh. Seaweeds are available along the whole Bangladeshi coast, mostly in St. Martin Island, Cox’s Bazar and Sundarbans Mangrove forest. Total 193seaweed species including 19 commercially important species, belonging to 94 genera are found. Approximately, 5,000 metric ton of seaweed biomass is available. Due to seasonal variation in water quality parameters, generally seaweeds are available from October to April, but highest abundance occurs from January to March. Seaweed salad and sauce has been utilizing by Mog people as food. About 400 seaweed collectors at St. Martin Island annually harvested 6-9 metric tons of wet seaweeds (Hypnea spp.) for smuggling to Myanmar. Different value added food, functional food and personal care products have prepared by Govt. institution, NGO and in private sector. Considering the economic importance and potentials of seaweeds, for effective and environmentally sustainable utilization, special concern is required by both government and private organizations.

Diversity and Abundance of Seaweed at Satang Besar Island, SarawakSeaweeds are macroscopic algae that play an important role as primary producers in marine ecosystem. Information on the composition of seaweed carried out in this study will aid in providing baseline data for future research. The aim of this study was to assess the seaweed composition from intertidal zones of Satang Besar Island. Seaweeds were collected from 10 stations around the island. Nine genera namely Halimeda, Bryopsis, Avrainvillea, Padina, Sargassum, Halymenia, Acanthophora, Gracilaria and Polysiphonia were identified. Based on the total number of species, Chlorophyta showed the highest percentage during the entire period of study. Genus Padina was commonly found and was present in five out of 10 sampling stations. The highest species diversity value (H' = 10.20) was recorded at Station 10 where the habitat was both rocky and sandy. The differences in number of species and composition occurring at different stations may be due to different type of substrates.

Taxonomic assessment of seaweed community from the coastal areas of Bintulu, Sarawak, Malaysia2013 •
Basic taxonomic information forms the important basis for the documentation, resource management and utilization of marine biodiversity such as seaweeds. A taxonomic assessment of seaweeds in the coastal areas of Bintulu, Sarawak, East Malaysia, was conducted monthly from May 2011 to May 2012. Species composition was recorded following NaGISA protocols, direct observation, and SCUBA and snorkeling techniques. A total of 54 species were identified, classified into Rhodophyta (23 species), Chlorophyta (16 species) and Phaeophyta (15 species). The highest abundance was recorded at Kuala Similajau (25 species) while the lowest was recorded at Kuala Nyalau (12 species). As the present study was conducted by examining species collected from both rocky shores and the reef area for the first time, a higher number of species was documented compared to previous studies conducted in the same general area but focusing only on particular habitats. Thirty species found in the current survey repre...

Present status of Seaweed resources in Bangladesh: A review on the diversity, culture methods and utilizationSeaweeds are one of the most potential aquaculture commodities in Bangladesh. It has a long back history of being used for its nutritional and pharmaceutical importance. This review summarizes seaweeds diversity and its culture, distribution and possible applications and uses in Bangladesh. Seaweed floras are distributed along the entire coastline, however, the higher abundance of these have found in the St. Martin Island, Cox's Bazar, and Sundarbans mangrove forest periphery. These included around 200 species and belong to 94 genera. About 12 of these genera, including Hypnea, Gracilaria, Gelidium, Enteromorpha, Halimeda, Padina, Dictyota, Caulerpa, Hydroclathrus, Sargassum, Kappaphycus, and Porphyra have substantial commercial importance. A total of 5,000 metric tons of seaweeds are likely available along the entire coastline between October and April. However, seaweeds commodity and its aquaculture production have a great potential in the coastal region of Bangladesh. Further...

Culture of Three Seaweed Species in Cox’s Bazar Coast, BangladeshThe experimental culture of 3 seaweed species, i.e. Hypnea musciformis, Enteromorpha intestinalis and Padina tetrastromatica in three locations of Cox’s Bazar coast, Bangladesh using 4×4 m horizontal coir rope net method were conducted during 2016 to 2018. Results showed that the biomass yield was highest from H. musciformis (30.23±0.40 kg fw m−1) and significantly differ from E. intestinalis (24.50±0.08 kg fw m−1) and P. tetrastromatica (10.18±0.45 kg fw m−1). The Daily Growth Rate (DGR) of H. musciformis (8.88% day−1) was also higher than the DGR of E. intestinalis (6.55% day−1) and P. tetrastromatica (6.74% day−1). Saint Martin’s Island showed higher biomass yield of seaweeds than Bakkhali and Inani due to favourable water quality. In context to physico-chemical parameters of seaweed farming, Cox's Bazar coast is suitable for seaweed cultivation, although more suitable culture areas and longer culture period yet to be identified. The findings of the present study suggest that...

Seaweed are cryptogamae aquatic plant of the seafloor which are recognized as vital marine resources for its multifunctional properties. Worldwide seaweed based food products, medicinal products, cosmetics products, fertilizer, biofuel and environmental pollution resistant products are successfully been produced and commercialized. Apart from nature seaweed can be cultivated under scientific technical process. Seaweeds varied in types. Along with green pigment they also contain red, blue, brown, pink and other pigments which can be divided in to 3 major classes; Rhodophyta (Red algae),Phaeophyta (Brown algae),Chlorophyta (Green algae),In Bangladesh 215 species algae were been detected out of which 13 species(Enteromorrpha spp,Chaetomorpha spp, Several marine algal report and articles were published afterwards; although these are based mainly on secondary data and do not necessarily reflect the up to data information on seaweed biodiversity of Bangladesh.
