India has a coastline of more than 7000 km and an Exclusive
Economic Zone (EEZ) over 2 million km2. A total of 770 species of
seaweeds have been reported from different parts of the Indian
coasts which includes 184 species of green, 166 species of brown
and 420 species of red (Sahoo et al., 2001). Unlike the East Asian
countries such as Japan, China, Korea, etc., India does not have a
long history of using seaweeds as food and for various other
purposes. However, in recent years a lot of interest has been
generated by the industries, academia and researchers in the field
of seaweeds research and utilization. One of the most difficult
jobs in this area is the identification of various species. This
book deals with identification of some of the common seaweeds of
the Indian coast. Only the most suitable specimens are described
and illustrated with colour photographs. Most of the photographs
were taken in the natural habitat, but in some cases herbarium
specimens have been used. The work is the compilation of the
author's studies of more than two decades. Common Seaweeds of India
will be useful to teachers, researchers, students, industries and
many others in identifying the seaweeds.
