“…Brown algae appeared in spring (April-May) at all sampling sites (Fig.6), which may suggest temperature was at the optimal level for brown algae growth at this time (9.70±2.64°C and 16.74±1.79°C) (Bolton and Lüning, 1982). For example, the brown algae Scytosiphon sp.…”

To explore the impact of environmental variables on macroalgal communities, their temporal and spatial distributions were examined along the Yantai coast, China between April 2010 and March 2011. Macroalgae sampling was conducted monthly at four sites along the coast: Jiahe River estuary, Zhifu Island, Fisherman's Wharf, and Yangma Island. The species composition and abundance, and their relationship with environmental variables were assessed. Along the Yantai coast, 35 macroalgae species were identifi ed, including 24 Rhodophyta spp., 7 Chlorophyta, and 4 Phaeophyta spp. Highest species numbers were recorded in the summer at all sampling sites, except in the Jiahe River estuary. Macroalgae biomass was the greatest in the summer. Year-round, the highest species number and dry biomass recorded at Fisherman's Wharf and Yangma Island was attributed to the substrate type. In summer, Ulva pertusa Kjellman was the dominant species identifi ed along the Yantai coast, which indicates a risk of macroalgae blooms. Our results show that seawater temperature and nutrients appear to signifi cantly affect the temporal and spatial patterns of macroalgal abundance along the Yantai coast. The effects of environmental variables on the macroalgae on the Yantai coast need further study.

“…The first group includes species with more stenothermal temperature requirements: Acrosiphonia arcta, Acrosiphonia sonderi, Urospora penicilliformis, Devaleraea ramentacea, Desmarestia aculeata, Pilayella littorah's, Chromastrum secundatum, Chromastrum virgatulum, Chordaria flagelliformis. These algae displayed a high degree of cold adaptation with respect to the growth ranges (mostly 0-15 ~ and optima (0-10 ~ The USL's (17-23 ~ were however -with the exception of C. secundatum and D. ramentacea -similar to those of algae from the cold-temperate regions (Bolton & Lfining, 1982;Lfining, 1984;Lfining, 1985;Liining & Freshwater, 1988;tom Dieck, 1992btom Dieck, , 1993Wiencke & tom Dieck, 1990).

“…Hence, a stenothermal flora and fauna developed in the Antarctica, with a high growth efficiency at low temperatures and a correspondingly low tolerance to high temperatures (Hempel, 1987;Wiencke & tom Dieck, 1989.

The temperature requirements for growth and upper temperature tolerance were determined in 16 macroalgal species collected on Disko Island (Greenland). The upper survival temperatures were examined in 1 ~ steps, and growth measured at 5~ intervals between 0 and 20 ~ using a refined method, where the fresh weight was determined weekly or fOrtnightly over a period of 5 or 6 weeks. To express temperature-growth responses, growth rates of temperatureacclimated plants were taken. Two groups with different temperature requirements were identified: The upper survival temperatures in these species and inChaetomorpha tortuosa, Bangia atropurpurea and Eudesme virescens were between 24 and 31 ~ These algal species showed little adaptation to the Arctic temperatures. In contrast, algae from the first group exhibited a relatively high adaptation to low temperatures -approaching the low temperature requirements of Antarctic algae. The results are discussed in relation to the geographic distribution of individual species.

“…The sporophyte of the kelp Laminaria solidungula, whose distribution extends into the cold-temperate region as far as Newfoundland, grows at temperatures up to 15°C with an optimum at 5-10°C and USTs of 16°C (tom Dieck 1992). The male and female gametophytes of this species exhibit an UST of 18°C and lower survival temperatures (LSTs) of £-1.5°C (Bolton and Lü ning 1982;tom Dieck 1993). The red alga Devaleraea ramentacea, which is distributed from the Arctic to the cold temperate North Atlantic region, grows at up to 10°C with an optimum at 0°C and exhibits an UST of 18-20°C and an LST of £-5°C.…”

Polar seaweeds are strongly adapted to the low temperatures of their environment, Antarctic species more strongly than Arctic species due to the longer cold water history of the Antarctic region. By reason of the strong isolation of the Southern Ocean the Antarctic marine flora is characterized by a high degree of endemism, whereas in the Arctic only few endemic species have been found so far. All polar species are strongly shade adapted and their phenology is finely tuned to the strong seasonal changes of the light conditions. The paper summarises the present knowledge of seaweeds from both polar regions with regard to the following topics: the history of seaweed research in polar regions; the environment of seaweeds in polar waters; biodiversity, biogeographical relationships and vertical distribution of Arctic and Antarctic seaweeds; life histories and physiological thallus anatomy; temperature demands and geographical distribution; light demands and depth zonation; the effect of salinity, temperature and desiccation on supraand eulittoral seaweeds; seasonality of reproduction and the physiological characteristics of C.
