| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Degradation of seaweed beds and expansion of barren grounds have recently been reported along the coasts of Kuroshio Current. Molecular-phylogenic and ecological research on non-geniculate coralline algae, which are representative seaweeds of barren grounds, were conducted to elucidate taxonomic definitions of species distributed from seaweed beds to barren grounds and even species compositions accompanied with these environmental changes. From the west coasts of the Seto Inland Sea to the south-west coast of Kochi Prefecture and the vicinity, 21 species of 11 genera including two newly recorded species from Japan were found. Especially, respective Lithophyllum okamurae and L. kotschyanum were classified into two species based on type specimens and fresh collections from their type localities. In this study, tropical non-geniculate species were found from the south of where tropical Sargassum was found, indicating slowness of growth and dispersal of non-geniculate coralline algae.
