Algerian coast, checklist, green algae, seaweeds, UlvophyceaeAbstract
The seaweed diversity of the Mediterranean is still not completely known, especially in some areas of its African coasts. As an effort to complete a more detailed catalogue to fill such gap, an updated checklist of seaweeds from Algeria, based on updated literature records, is developed using as starting point the checklist of Perret-Boudouresque and Seridi published in 1989. In the present work, in which we include the Ulvophyceae Mattox & K.D.Stewart, we list 73 accepted taxa from this group, among which there are 8 new records for Algeria.
