First Record of the Alien Macroalgae, Rivularia Atra and Polysiphonia Opaca, on the Libyan Coastline With Special Reference to Their Bionomics

Abstract: Abstract. This investigation documents the presence of the alien macroalgal species Rivularia atra Roth ex Bornet & Flahault (Rivulariaceae: Nostocales) and Polysiphonia opaca (C. Agardh) Moris & De Notaris (Rhodomelaceae: Ceramiales) for the first time on the Libyan coastline. Of 7 investigated sites along Al-Jabel Al-Akhdar coastline during summer 2013 and winter 2014, three sites were invaded by R. atra and one site by P. opaca. The percent cover and relative frequency -as measures of abundance -of R. atra … Show more

“…In modern contexts, Rivularia is analyzed together with other N-fixing microorganisms to recognize eutrophication processes and the associated increase in the amounts of organic nutrients, nitrogen, and phosphorous generated by human activities [73]. In addition, some species are invasive in many geographical areas, reflecting polluted conditions and lower water quality [74]. Pioneering research on the characterization of ancient cyanobacteria strains with the perspective of obtaining solutions to the current difficulty of mitigating eutrophication has increased in recent years [75].…”
