    MARINE ECOLOGY PROGRESS SERIES Vol. 191: 91-100.1999 Published December 30 Mar Ecol Prog Ser l Spatial and temporal patterns of settlement of the brown macroalgae Turbinaria ornata and Sargassum mangarevense in a coral reef on Tahiti V. Stiger*,C. E. Payri Laboratoire d'Ecologie Marine, Universite Franqaise du Pacifique, BP 6570 FaaaIAeroport, Tahiti, French Polynesia ABSTRACT: Turbinaria ornata and Sargassum mangarevense are the most conspicuous macroalgal species that grow on the reefs of Tahiti and other high islands of French Polynesia. This study reports on a quantitative investigation of spatial and seasonal settlement efficiencies and dispersal distances for these 2 species in a coral reef habitat on Tahiti. Settlement patterns of germlings were observed in situ on settlement plates placed around parental thalli during 2 seasons (hot and cold). For both species, the dispersal of germlings was limited to within 90 cm of the parental thalli, and the greatest number of settled germlings was observed during the cold season. T ornata showed a higher attachment abihty and lower dispersal distances than S. mangarevense. A model of dispersal is suggested for the 2 spe- cies showing a decrease in germling number with distance from parental thalli. Dispersal of germlings appears to be influenced by the dominant current during their release. This short-distance dispersal allows rapid establishment and maintenance of local populations, and is consistent with the explana- tion of the metapopulation distribution of the 2 species. The 2 species did not release all oogonia pre- sent in their reproductive structures. T ornata had a stock of oogonia that varied seasonally (with low amounts during the hot season), whereas there was no seasonal variation in the oogonia stock of S.

Phenolics, as one of the largest and most widely distributed group of phytochemicals, have gained special attention due to their pharmacological activity and array of health-promoting benefits. Reports on phenolic potentials of marine algae, especially brown algae (Pheophyceae) that are characterized by the presence of phlorotannins, are still scarce. The aim of this review paper is to provide an overview of current knowledge about phenolic potential of different brown algae species (74 species from 7 different orders). Studies on brown algae phenolics usually involve few species, thus the focus of this review is to provide information about the phenolic potential of reported algae species and to get an insight into some issues related to the applied extraction procedures and determination/quantification methods to facilitate the comparison of results from different studies.

A total of 31 taxa are presented. Among these, seven represent new records for French Polynesia. The flora has affinities with neighbouring localities such as the Cook Islands, Hawai’i,Fiji, and Lord Howe Island, and there are taxa represented from both tropical and sub-tropical to temperate regions owing to the wide latitudinal distribution of the islands in French Polynesia, ranging from below the equator to well below the Tropic of Capricorn. New published records for French Polynesia include Cladosiphon novae- caledoniae,Cutleria irregularis,C. mollis,Hydroclathrus tumulis, Padina melemele, Sargassum cf. S. echinocarpum and Stypopodium australasicum, all of which (excepted for Sargassum cf.
