Hainan Island, Luhuitou, April 2012. Holdfast discoid (to 7 mm in diameter). Scientists have set up sargassum tracking systems that detect the amount of algae heading for shores in the Caribbean, but it’s hard to predict when or where it will land. flagella are inserted laterally. Look upon this as an exception to the general pattern found in the plant kingdom. In this Video Students will learn the Life cycle or Reproduction of Sargassum derived from the oogonial wall and still attached to the interior Brown algae and land plants are two groups of multicellular organisms that have been evolving independently for over a billion years. Vesicles. The Sargasso Sea is made up of huge masses of floating Sargassum. Luhuitou, February 2012. in sea water. Thallus densely branched, leathery, bushy, 2–5 m high, yellowish-brown. A useful comparison can be made by examining the production to biomass (P/B) ratio; this is the relationship between the total annual production and the average biomass of living plant (or animal) material present throughout the year. The preceding discussions of pelagic production and food webs have highlighted unique ecological features of the marine habitat. Additional evaluations revealed a maximum Sargassum growth rate in chelated iron-enriched treatments (saturation of 4.3 μg/L) in different stages of the life cycle, associated with increased chlorophyll synthesis (Miki et al., 2016; Nagai et al., 2014). The macroalga S. muticum (Yendo) Fensholt (Phaeophyceae, Fucales, Figure 10.4) is one of the most aggressive marine invaders (White & Shurin, 2011). Although macroscopic algae and sea grasses contribute to marine production in inshore shallow areas, by far the greatest amount of marine primary production is carried out by the small phytoplankton. The presence of alginic acid and vesicles shield the chloroplasts and nucleus from intense illumination, especially at low tide when the plants are usually exposed. Asia (China, Japan), South-east Asia (Vietnam). Secondary branches arranged alternately. Distribution. if of whiplash type. The abnormal increase of drifting brown alga Sargassum horneri was initially documented in 2007. is borne at the tip of a 3-celled filament which arises from a cell Vesicles numerous, shortly stalked, spherical to obovate, sometimes slightly compressed, 3(–5) mm; apex smooth, apiculate or with 1–2 teeth, often with ear-like wings. It does not multiply asexually by means of spores. In fact, almost any type of life cycle one can imagine is displayed by some member of the algae. Reduction in diatom and bacteria density results in a decrease in the inducing activity. Unlike giant kelp (Laminariales) Fucales attain an average maximum height up to 30–50 cm only. LIFE CYCLE: Sargassum horneri is an annual species, completing its entire life cycle in less than a year. The origin of the specific epithet “polycystum” could not be traced back. Thallus bushy, coarse, 0.5–2 m high, yellow brown. It has a thick wall which becomes mucilaginous Sargassum, also called gulfweed or sea holly, genus of about 150 species of brown algae (family Sargassaceae) generally attached to rocks along coasts in temperate regions or occurring as pelagic (free-floating) algae in the open sea. Unlike Fucus, where male and female gametes are fertilized completely externally, Sargassum female gametes are not shed into the sea and are usually attached to the thallus after releasing from the conceptacle. Therefore, terrestrial vegetation has much lower P/B ratios of about 0.5–2.0. Life Cycle . The diameter of juveniles immediately after metamorphosis is 350 to 400 μm (Kawamura 1970). In the pelagic environment, primary productivity ranges from about 50 to 600 g C m–2 yr–1. The abnormal increase of drifting brown alga Sargassum horneri was initially documented in 2007. Phylloids of terminal branches and branchlets are hemiphyllous, obovate-oblanceolate, up to 1.5 cm long, asymmetric at base, without midrib. The area is bound by four different currents, and is usually an area of calm waters. Hainan Island, Meixia, April 2012. Sargassum has several uses which are very helpful in our routine life. The life cycle of most Phaeophyta is a Haploid/Diploid life cycle. Attachment by basal disk. Phylloids of primary and secondary branches are oblong-elliptical, oblong-obovate, to 2.2 cm long, 1.5 cm wide, near to symmetrical at base with finely toothed margins and rounded tips. Phytoplankton, in contrast, do not require large amounts of structural carbohydrate and are largely composed of protein. Pieces of these algae break off and float in the currents. The phaeophyte life cycle Most brown algae have a sexual alternation of generations between two different multicellular stages. Phylloids of branchlets small, obovate, 10–15 mm long, 3–8 mm wide with indistinct midrib. In fact, growth efficiency (the ratio of biomass production to quantity of food eaten) tends to be an order of magnitude higher in marine Poikilothermic species. Vegetative Body of Sargassum: The plant resembles a bushy seed-plants. or mesochite imbibes water and becomes gelatinized. Metamorphosis of larvae of H. pulcherrimus and P. depressus in aquaria with dense attached diatoms is greatly increased by the introduction of S. fusiformis (Ito et al., 1991). Members of the order Fucales generally contain air bladders to freely float on the water surface and are examples of a diplontic life cycle where only sperm and egg represent the haploid condition. It consists of remain axis, lateral branches and rhyzoids. April 2012. Attachment by lobed disc, 8 × 6 mm. The uppeer or antheridial Learn new and interesting things. Lyimo et al. wall and a single ovum or oosphere. Brown algae exist in a wide range of sizes and forms. Other well-known brown algae are the Sargassum and Fucus that floats in a thick, tangled mass through the Sargasso Sea, a region of the North Atlantic Ocean which is surrounded by four ocean currents. The conceptacles 1. The posterior flagella continue to lash. 4. News Biggest ever seaweed bloom stretches from Gulf of Mexico to Africa. In habitat, the upper subtidal zone. (2) Ancyclonema - It is called Ice bloom because it grows on marine ice. It produces the typical thallus. Growing on lower intertidal to subtidal rocks, dead corals. single diploid nucleus and a few chromatophores. by the gelatinized wall of the oogonia and are held in position just Sargassum branching is monopodial where leaves or blades or lamina are spirally arranged on the main axis. Life cycle of brown algae . inside the sporangia to produce gametes. However, there is no regular and fixed alternation of generations, as found in higher plants. Life Cycle of Fucus. They are towards maturity. However, there may be overlapping generations in a single season occupying the same habitat. Fragments with vesicles and receptacles (soaked dry specimens). It swelling breaks Main axis cylindrical, warty, 3–20 mm high, bearing several primary branches. e.g., Fucus, Sargassum, etc. Reproduction in Sargassum. The basic structure of phytoplankton and terrestrial vegetation is very different. protoplast transforms itself into a single sperm or antherozoid. Main axis cylindrical, slightly compressed, warty, with simple or Y-shaped proliferations. Antheridia The middle wall layer usually bears only one type of sex organs. attach themselves to the gelatinous sheath of the ovm by mean of their Plutei of both species were strongly induced by attached diatoms with S. fusiformis and attached diatoms with an extract of S. fusiformis. The photosynthesis is facilitated thanks to aerial vesicles which allows the algae to raise to the surface. In such a condition where the life is a diploid and the gametophytic stage is almost nil the life cycle is called diplontic life cycle. gelatinous sheath dissolves and the fertilised eg in its early stage Porphyra has a heteromorphic life cycle with an alternation between a macroscopic foliose gametophytic phase and a filamentous sporophyte called the conchocelis phase (Fig. So, following are the uses of sargassum which are as follows:-Source of agar: Sargassum is used for making agar which is obtained from several species. Rhodophyta I Red Algae • Red algae are ancient algae. cell appears at the tip of the germling. Cryptostomata present. Many more larvae of H. pulcherrimus and P. depressus settled with crustose coralline algae than with attached diatoms (Kakuda, 1978b). : A large number of antheridia develop in each male conceptacle. Phylloids on the primary branches large, spatulate, oblong, 2 cm long, 1.5 cm wide, with obtuse, double serrulate apices, dentate at the margins, symmetrical, cuneate at the base, with midrib vanishing at the top of the phylloids. Insets: a, c—phylloids; b, d—fragments showing vesicles. Holdfast rough, discoid, lobed. The effects of the drying methods on algal protein digestibility have received limited study. Simultaneously a three side apical The induction of metamorphosis is attributable to direct attachment to the alga or attached diatoms (Ito et al., 1991). It forms diploid antheridia and oogonia.

Nathalie Bourgougnon, in, Fritch, 1977; Vijayaraghavan and Kaur, 1997; Lee, 2008, Developments in Aquaculture and Fisheries Science, Biological Oceanography: An Introduction (Second Edition), Proteins in Food Processing (Second Edition). In blue-green algae and certain chlorophyceae which reproduced asexually, there is n alternation generation. The chemical composition of Sargassum sp. As well, pelagic animals live in a buoyant fluid and use little energy in locomotion. Primary branches cylindrical or subcylindrical, smooth, 24–35 cm long, 2 mm in diameter. Main axis to 3 mm in diameter, cylindrical with furrows, bearing primary long branches. Sargassum and other Fucoid algae have an animal-like life cycle with no alternation of generations. Receptacles more or less terete, verrucose, with sparse spines, often forked. Insets: Fragments with phylloids and vesicles. Cryptostomata prominent scattered on both sides of the midrib and vesicles. The brown color in brown algae results from the large amounts of fucoxanthin, a type of carotenoid that masks other pigments. 1. Reproduction occurs externally where male and female gametes are liberated in water after the wall of the oogonium is ruptured. 3.21). Native from South East Asia, S. muticum was introduced in the Pacific Northwest around the 1940s with Japanese oysters (Crassostrea gigas) imported for aquaculture. In habitat, the upper subtidal zone. Haplo-diplontic: With regard to Sargassum habitats off North Carolina, we have learned that the Gulf Stream acts as a conduit, bringing these pelagic (open-water) brown algae into the area and creating a diverse and essential floating habitat for many fishes in an otherwise barren area. Taxonomy and picture of Sargassum muticum. It formed blooms along the coast of East China Sea and Yellow Sea in 2017. 2–1 m high, yellowish, olive-brown color. Thallus tough, to 1 m high. The middle one is known as stalk cell. In an asexual life cycle, individuals reproduce by splitting. Much of the terrestrial photosynthetic production therefore enters indirectly into the food chain via the decomposition cycle. Branches of the second order (16–25 cm long) bear branches of the third order (5–8.6 cm long). So understanding the life cycle of S. horneri is paramount to launching a successful removal. ... Etymology: Sargassum, a brown algae (seaweed) was a term coined by Portuguese sailors—which has even been attributed to Christopher Columbus (1492 expedition: first time someone reported crossing the Sargasso Sea). Distribution. The young oogonium contains a conspicuous diploid nucleus, dense cytoplasma Fucus branching is dichotomous, with a prominent central midrib surrounded on both sides. and an upper oogonial cell. Phylloids of all branch orders. It formed blooms along the coast of East China Sea and Yellow Sea in 2017. Attachment by branched rhizoids. J. Fleurence, in Seaweed in Health and Disease Prevention, 2016. Receptacles in racemose branchlets (female receptacles are triquetrous, male receptacles cylindrical, subclavate, two-edged, dentate at margins) develop in axils of phylloids. Heteromorphic Diplohaplontic life cycle – Here both the diploid and haploid individuals (vegetative plants) are morphologically dissimilar i.e., heteromorphic. It breaks its connection from the paraphysis For the brown seaweeds belonging to genus Sargassum, an effect on protein digestibility was reported according to the drying method used (freeze drying or oven drying) (Wong and Cheung, 2001a). Indian Ocean islands (Andaman islands, Seychelles), South-west Asia (India, Sri Lanka), Asia (Hong Kong), South-east Asia (Vietnam, Philippines, Indonesia, Singapore), Australia and New Zealand. which reproduce asexually, there is no alternation of generations. Diatom-based films promote larval metamorphosis of P. depressus but are less important for H. crassispina. Vesicles and receptacles. Phylloids of the secondary branches lanceolate, 3–4 cm long, 3–4 mm wide. Phylloids at the lower part lanceolate, membranaceous, shortly stalked, with toothed margins, asymmetric at base with emarginated almost entire inner margin and with rounded apex. : The ova of sargassum are not shed in sea. Sargassum fluitans, a.k.a. Haplontic Life Cycle. Receptacles 4–5 mm long, forked, subcylindrical at basal part, and compressed above with spines on both surfaces and apices. Interior to the cortex is the medulla, which consists of narrow, elongated, thick-walled cells, which serve the function of conduction. As a result the use of algae as vegetables in human nutrition remained marginal in Europe. However, even if digestibility of proteins from washed samples were increased threefold over unwashed algae, it still would remain 50% lower than the digestibility of casein (unpublished data). Thallus thick-fleshy, 0. Midrib vanishing below apex. Special name : (1) Postelsia - It is known as Sea palm. Vertical or longitudinal walls appear in the terminal region which Detail showing branched rhizoidal stolons. The algae having haplontic type of life cycle have zygotic meiosis. 2. Main axis short (one to two1–2 mm), cylindrical, giving rise to several primary axes. Lison de Loma et al. Phylloids of the secondary and last order small, ellipsoidal, 1–1.5 cm long, 0.7 cm wide, with obtuse double apices, asymmetrical at the base, with midrib vanishing at the middle part of the phylloids. After some time the Some dinoflagellates reproduce primarily by asexual division. The phylloids narrowly triangular at side view, with obtuse and smooth ridges, tapering sharply toward stalk. Fertlization In this life cycle plants are haploid. The effects of the drying methods on algal protein digestibility have received limited study. 3. From: Seaweed in Health and Disease Prevention, 2016, E.A. The following points summarize differences in primary and secondary production in these two major environments. (2004a) reported water conditioned with 15 different species of macroalgae in combination with the diatom Navicula ramosissima induces metamorphosis of H. crassispina larvae but not of P. depressus larvae. Although members of this order are distributed worldwide, temperate Fucales differ from tropical Fucales. The haploid and diploid life form look very different, they are heteromorph. Hainan Island, Luhuitou, November 2010. Reproduction in Sargassum. They related this to both the higher availability of this seagrass in the field and the soft and terete leaf blade morphology that made it easier to manipulate and ingest. Any cell of the fertile layer can function as In contrast, more of an artificial diet containing dried S. linearifolium was consumed than a diet containing dried E. radiata. Branching irregular, sparse. Detail showing phylloids. Usually Fucales complete their life cycle in 2–3 years, except Ascophyllum, which has a 12–15-year life history (Lee, 2008). Seaweeds have been consumed for centuries by some populations. The … Growing on rocks in the lower intertidal and upper subtidal zones (to 4 m depth). Vesicles numerous, single or in groups, spherical, oval to elliptical, small, 1–2.5 mm across, sometimes with narrow dentate wing on one side and with well-visible stalk (often with spines) develop on branchlets in axils of the phylloids. reproduction : FRagmentation is the only known method of reproduction Depending on the life cycle of algae meiosis may be zygotic, gametic or sporic. The fertilized ovum has a diploid More than 300 Sargassum species are currently listed in the world. The Sargasso Sea in the western Atlantic Ocean, which is often characterized by floating masses of Sargassum natans and S. fluitans, is named for the seaweed. This has led to the creation of two machines, one to collect sargassum on the high seas and sink it into the depths of the sea (it stays there and completes its life cycle), and another to collect sargassum before reaching the shores. Some species, such as Sargassum are capable of floating through shallow waters of a coral reef, and other species have totally adapted to withstand the environmental stresses caused by changing temperatures and salinity in tidal pools. Chromatophore is reduced Amazingly, some of the associated life forms that live on the Sargassum are restricted to only one of the Sargassum species and are found nowhere else. Cryptostomata prominent. 2. Receptacles racemose, irregularly forked, 5–7 mm long, develop at the basal portion of the phylloid stalk. →Iodine and Bromine - Obtained from Laminaria. Stalk terete, slightly compressed or flattened in the upper half, 2–4 mm long, 1 mm wide (commonly half of the vesicle length), often with spine at margin in the upper part of the stalk. Key words: brown algae, life cycle, sex determination, sexual dimorphism, UV chromosomes. Growing on low intertidal and subtidal rocks, stones, and dead corals. LIFE CYCLE: Sargassum horneri is an annual species, completing its entire life cycle in less than a year. Distribution. Li et al. Klumpp et al. The oogonia attract a large number of sperm by producing a pheromone, fucoserratene (Fig. inside small finger-like branchlets called receptacles. Conceptacles are frequently limited to the inflated tips of special branches or receptacles but they may be scattered all over the surface of the thallus. It does not multiply asexually (1991) examined the induction of metamorphosis of fully developed eight-armed plutei of H. pulcherrimus and P. depressus with attached diatoms, S. fusiformis, attached diatoms with S. fusiformis, attached diatoms with an extract of S. fusiformis, and extract of S. fusiformis alone. (A) Female; (B) male; and (C) monoecious. : Only a few oogonia are borne in a conceptacle. Secondary branches branchlets and phylloids alternately branched. Stem terete, 2–2.7 mm high, 3–4 mm in diameter, bearing several primary branches. During favorable conditions zygotes germinate into a diploid sporophytic thallus while still surrounded by a gelatinous sheath (Fritch, 1977; Vijayaraghavan and Kaur, 1997; Lee, 2008). We use cookies to help provide and enhance our service and tailor content and ads. A plant or receptacle or conceptacle may be monoecious or dioecious. The zygote nucleus undergoes reduction division and gives rise to 4 haploid nuclei, of which […] Fucus and Sargassum exhibit different branching patterns. Water conditioned with U. pertusa does not induce metamorphosis except in spring or early summer. But the rate of its growth has increased rapidly in recent years – so much so that in 2018 its summer bloom almost spanned the Atlantic from West Africa to the Caribbean. Hainan Island, Luhuitou, April 2012. Phylloids. Vesicles stalked, fusiform with mucronate apices, 1.3–2.2 cm long, 2.0–2.5 mm in diameter. After gametic union zygote is produced which is (2n). The other family of acids and soluble polysaccharides are represented by fucans, which are sulphated and ramified polysaccharides constituted by a large variety of sugars, as l-fucose and d-galactose. Phylloids alternately pinnately deeply parted, with prominent midrib; with sharp teeth on the top of segments, develop in the lower and middle portions of thallus. 1. 3.9). Hainan Island, Meixia, April 2012. Internally the antheridium contains initially a Fragment showing branching pattern. 2. In this article we will discuss about the vegetative body and reproduction of sargassum. exchite, middle mesochite and inner endochite. According to Ito et al. In the Marquesas archipelago (French Polynesia), especially on Ua Uka island, the ancient inhabitants consumed some seaweeds, such as Enteromorpha flexuosa and Caulerpa racemosa (green seaweeds). Thallus coarse, bushy, 35 cm high, yellow-brown. Cast ashore, Hainan Island, the vicinity of Wenchang City. The family is a machine. 1. Vegetative 2a-e) in less than a year. The sex organs are produced Insert: Branchlet with phylloids. by means of spores. (3) Sargassum -It is known as Gulf weed because Sargssum is a free-floating alga. Phylloids at the base coarse, oval, oblong, 8 cm long, 1.6–2 cm wide, with serrated undulate margins, asymmetric base and midrib vanishing below the apex, in the middle part, phylloids 3.5–6.7 × 1.6 cm.
