Dear Researchers,
When I went Andaman and Nicobar Islands i visited some of the locations as a tourist still i didnt had permission for collection i took photo of some of the seaweeds. just posting it here so that i can get knowledge on these seaweeds.kindly identify these and provide some informations regarding these algae.
kindly confirm my identification also.
1. Caulerpa recemosa
2. Boergesenia forbesii
7,8,9. Acetabularia
So beautiful! Incredible. I first thought it could be a Bryozoan but no.
I googled green umbrella alga and it appears to be Acetabularia.
You are so lucky
Dear mathew sir,
I was happy to see live sample of Acetabularia and Boergesenia forbesii but unluckly i didnt had permission to do collection so didnt bring even a single algae from there.. i felt so bad when i left andaman nicobar island. But still i am to see them live and proud i have touched both algae in live condition.. when i was in M.Sc. i went to Rameshwaram for collection for gettin Boergesenia forbesii, you know me, my friends and my guide all together searched for almostva day but we couldnt even find a single habit.. so it was my happiest field moment in andaman when i found both organisms..
Dear Dr. Elaya
Hats off to you for the wonderful collections!
I think the first one could be Caulerpa serrulata.
3-5 I think Bornetella sphaerica (Zanardini) Solms-Laubach 1892: 80 belonging to Ulvophyceae.
Could the image 6 be the initial thallus of the red alga Porphyra and 7-9 Acetabularia acetabulum .
Good luck!
Picture one looks like the holdfast of Caulerpa serrulata
Picture one is of Boergesenia forbesii and you see Neomeris annulata in the background
Pics 3-5 looks like a species of Dictyosphaeria
Pics 7,8,9. look like Acetabularia acetabulum
