| The aim of this study was to evaluate the biodiversity and density of green algae from the coasts of Bushehr province inthe Persian Gulf during two warm and cold seasons. Entromorpha intestinaliswas dominant species in between two green algae that was sampled from all stations and hadthe most density (878 ±323.19 n/m2) in all stations. These species alsohadthe most density(658 ± 465.27 n/m2) in Ganaveh station. The most density(586 ± 227 per m) ofE. intestinalis observed in the mid andmiddletidal zones. Rhizoclonium riparium specieswas observed at four tidal zones. The most density of green algae was belonging to spring (826 ± 346.48 numbers in m2). The highest biomass (500 ± 353.55 gr dry weight in m²) of green algae observed in Ganaveh station. The most green algae biomass (505.8 ± 349 gr dry weight in m²) was revealed in the spring. Most of Margalefindex (0.18) was related to the nuclear power station. The highest Simpson index (0.94) and Shannon index (0.59) were belonged to Lower Mid Littoral area of the tidal zone and the Upper Mid Littoral of the tidal zone, respectively. There was a lowrelative correlationbetween temperature and density of green algae(R2 = 0.15) atstudied stations. |
