Study of the macrophytobenthos in the Mar Piccolo of Taranto
Abstract
Floristic list of macrophytes (seaweeds and phanerogams) collected in the Mar Piccolo in the years 1987-1988. For each species the location in the basin, the month of collection and the phenology was reported.


A qualitative study was performed in 1987-1988 to assess the composition in species of the macrophytobenthos of the Mar Piccolo of Taranto.
Forty-eight stations were bi-monthly monitored, 20 in the First Inlet (10 in the Intertidal and 10 in the sublittoral) and 28 in the Second Inlet (16 in the Intertidal and 12 in the sublittoral). A total of 86 taxa were recorded: 24 Chlorophyta, 10 Ochrophyta, 51 Rhodophyta, 1 Tracheophyta. 4 species were non-indigenous (NIS).

Method Description
Seaweeds were bi-monthly collected in 48 stations variously distributed in the two inlets of the Mar Piccolo 20 in the First Inlet (10 in the Intertidal and 10 in the sublittoral) and 28 in the Second Inlet (16 in the Intertidal and 12 in the sublittoral). For the location of the stations see [Cecere E, Cormaci M, Furnari G (1991) The marine algae of Mar Piccolo, Taranto (southern Italy): a re-assessment. Botanica Marina 34: 221-227. https://doi.org/10.1515/botm.1991.34.3.221].
Sampling was performed by SCUBA diving in 22 stations, collecting all the material enclosed in a 50x50 frame. Identification was carried out in the laboratory through observations at the light microscope and the stereomicroscope.
Updating of the current species nomenclature was performed according to Algaebase (https://www.algaebase.org) and the original taxonomic binomial was reported.
