--------------------------------------------------------- Qatar Univ. Sci J. (1999), 19: A LIST OF MARINE ALGAE FROM SEASHORES OF IRAN (HORMOZGAN PROVINCE) By J. Sohrabipour and R. Rabii. Natural Resources and Animal Research Center of Hormozgan. P.O.Box. 79145- 1468, Bandar Abbas, Iran. ABSTRACT Seashores of Hromzgan province in south of Iran were studied for collection and recogna­ tion of algal flora (1991-1996). 150 species of marine algae were recognized, including 36 Chlorophyta (16 new). 33 Phaeophyta (15 new). 75 Rhodophyta (42 new), 3 Xanthophyta (2 new) and 3 Cyanophyta (2 new). In this study number of algal species from iranian sea­ shores are increased to 201 species. INTRODUCTION shores.
