Description
Summary:The ecology and distribution of marine bottom flora along the continental coast of Okhotsk Sea are discussed. There are five coastal regions with different composition of algae and their distribution within supralitoral (spray - zone), litoral (intertidal - zone) and sublitoral (subtidal zone): southwestern, northwestern, northern, northeastern, southeastern coasts. The main belts of algae are as follows: Urospora penicilliformis, Gloiopeltis capillaris, Heterochordaria abietina, Corallina pilulifera, Fucus evanescens, Porphyra sp., Diatomeae, Halosaccion spp., Lessonia laminarioides, Laminaria spp., Alaria spp., species of Rhodophyta. In spite of the algae there are lichens (Placoma and Caloplaca) in supralitoral, and marine grasses (Zostera marina) in the sublitoral. The distribution of algae on continental coast depends greatly on the origin of substratum, rhythm of tides, light, current, temperature, fog, solar radiation. (Author) Trans. of Akademiya Nauk SSSR.
