Abstract:
We present a check-list of the seaweeds for Venice
lagoon, based on literature and recent records. At present
the total number of taxa is 277, including 71 Chlorophyceae
s.l. (25.6%), 148 Rhodophyceae (53.4%), 56
Phaeophyceae (20.2%) and 2 Chrysophyceae (0.7%).
Using present day taxonomy, the number of taxa is about
double that in previous lists. Since 1983, there have been
92 (ca. 33%) new records for Venice littoral zone. Of
these, 19 (ca. 21%) are first records for the Mediterranean
Sea, and many are alien taxa that seriously compete
with the growth of indigenous species. The number
of taxa that have disappeared from the lagoon, or have
not been found in the recent years, is 96.
