Composition and distribution seaweeds in Thuyen Chai island (Truong Sa islands-Vietnam)
Thuyen Chai Island, located in the South of the Spratly Archipelago (Vietnam), features a seagrass bed, coral reef ecosystem, and a tidal zone. All of these causes contribute to the expansion of seaweed diversity. This report gives the first findings of the seaweed flora in the rainy season. The results of the survey revealed 82 species of seaweed belong to 4 phyla. Among them, there are 42 species of Rhodophytes (comprising 51% of total species), 14 Chlorophytes (17%), 21 Ochrophytes (26%) and 5 Cyanobacteriophytes (6%). The findings show that the composition of seaweed species on Thuyen Chai island varies depending on the habitats of coral reefs and seagrass beds.
