New data on the locations of seagrass species in the Indian Ocean

Abstract

localities and depths are described for seven seagrasses (Syringodium isoetifolium, Halodule uninervis, Cymodocea rotundata, Thalassodendron ciliatum, Halophila decipiens, Halophila stipulacea and Enhalus acoroides) collected in the indian ocean during four expeditions. These data are compared with those reported from the literature. Maps showing the formerly unknown localities are given.
