A catalogue with keys to the non-geniculate coralline algae (Corallinales, Rhodophyta) of South Africa
(Elsevier, 2008)
Non-geniculate coralline red algae are common in all of the world’s oceans, where they often occupy close to 100% of the primary
rocky substratum. The South African rocky subtidal and intertidal habitats in particular, ...
First report of Sporolithon ptychoides (Sporolithales, Corallinophycidae, Rhodophyta) for the Atlantic Ocean
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2011)
Samples corresponding to Sporolithon ptychoides Heydrich were collected in
the mesophotic zone (50 m depth) south of Espírito Santo State, Brazil. The
collected material presented features characteristic of the species ...
Evolutionary history of the Corallinales (Corallinophycidae, Rhodophyta) inferred from nuclear, plastidial and mitochondrial genomes
(Elsevier, 2011)
Systematics of the red algal order Corallinales has a long and convoluted history. In the present study, molecular approaches were used to assess the phylogenetic relationships based on the analyses of two datasets: a large ...
Seaweed diversity associated with a Brazilian tropical rhodolith bed
(Universidad Autónoma de Baja California, 2010)
This study describes the predominantly tropical, subtidal seaweed populations growing on rhodoliths between 4 and 18 m depth
in the southern part of Espírito Santo State (Brazil). Qualitative and quantitative sampling ...
Taxonomy of rhodolith-forming species of Lithophyllum (Corallinales; Rhodophyta) from Espírito Santo State, Brazil
(International Phycological Society, 2009)
The taxonomy of the rhodolith-forming species of Lithophyllum (Corallinales, Rhodophyta) found from Espirito Santo State, Brazil, were evaluated based on extensive subtidal sampling. A comparative analysis of the Brazilian ...
Effects of wild and farm-grown macroalgae on the growth of juvenile South African abalone Haliotis midae Linnaeus
(Taylor and Francis, 2011)
The effect of various macroalgal diets on the growth of grow-out (> 20 mm shell length) South African abalone Haliotis midae was investigated on a commercial abalone farm. The experiment consisted of four treatments: fresh ...
Growth of market-size abalone (Haliotis midae) fed kelp (Ecklonia maxima) versus a low-protein commercial feed
(Taylor & Francis, 2008)
The growth of grow-out abalone fed on kelp, with ca. 10 % dry weight protein
content, was compared with that of those fed a new ,ca. 26 % protein, commercial
feed in a flow-through system on a South African west coast ...
Comparing community structure on shells of the abalone Haliotis midae and adjacent rock: implications for biodiversity
(Springer Verlag, 2013)
This paper concerns the effects on biodiversity of depletion 24 of the South African
abalone Haliotis midae, which is a long-lived species with a large corrugated shell
that provides a habitat for diverse benthic organisms. ...
Determining the most appropriate feeding regime for the South African abalone Haliotis midae Linnaeus grown on kelp
(Springer Verlag, 2008)
Beach-cast kelp (the most widely used feed for commercially grown South African
abalone) is plentiful during winter months when periodic storms cause kelp to wash
ashore. During summer, however, this resource is not ...
Heydrichia cerasina sp. nov. (Sporolithales, Corallinophycidae, Rhodophyta) from the southernmost tip of Africa. Phycologia, 51(1): 11- 21
(International Phycological Society, 2012)
A new species of Heydrichia (Sporolithales), H. cerasina sp. nov., is described, found only on pebbles in the low intertidal zone along a 10 km stretch of the South African south coast from Cape Agulhas to Struisbaai. The ...
