Abstract:
Two dictyolean brown algae, Padina antillarum (Kützing) Piccone and Stoechospermum ploypodioides (J. V. Lamouroux) J. G. Agardh, were collected from Manora, Hawksbay and Buleji, the coastal areas near Karachi during March 2007-May 2010 and investigated for their morphology, anatomy and reproductive structures. This is the first detailed study of these species from the coast of Pakistan. The present specimens were investigated in detail for the measurement, size and shape of surface cells, presence and absence of intercellular spaces, cell-wall thickness etc.
