| Summary: | Abstract We present new data on marine algae of the South Kamchatka state wildlife sanctuary (Yuzhno-Kamchatskii Zakaznik, Russia), a protected natural area of federal significance. The species list of macrophytic marine algae is accompanied by information on their reproduction and distribution. This list updates the taxonomy and expands a previous list, with many new species, including 2 species previously unknown from the Pacific coasts of Russia ( Colaconema endophyticum , Acrochaetium plumosum ), 2 species new to the coasts of Kamchatka ( Colaconema daviesii and Acrochaete geniculata ), and 11 species recorded for the first time from the area studied ( Erythrocladia irregularis , Palmaria hecatensis , Palmaria mollis , Meiodiscus concrescens , Crossocarpus lamuticus , Cirrulicarpus ruprechtianum , Rhodomela sibirica , Urospora elongata , Zygomitus reticulatus , Acrochaete ramosa , Acrochaete pterosiphoniae ) (Nagai) Zhigadlova, comb. nov. (= Entocladia pterosiphoniae ). The importance of the wildlife sanctuary for the conservation of biodiversity in Kamchatka is noted. |
