Abstract

The samples were collected from the different stations along the Kalegauk Island from August 2016 to January 2017. Based on the external morphology and internal structures, the samples were identified under the compound microscope and dissecting microscope. A total of two species of two genera were identified. The names of the species are Colpomenia sinuosa (Mertens ex Roth) Derbes? & Solier and Dictyota adnata Zarnardini. They all were new records for algae resources of Kalegauk Island and they were found in all stations abundantly. The present study is to record the diversity of marine brown algae and study their morphology from Kalegauk Island.
