Two 1x1 m squares were randomly</div><div>arranged in each sample point and pneumatophores of A. schaueriana were</div><div>collected. There were six species of macroalgae. All taxa found are often cited</div><div>for Brazilian mangroves, but overall richness was lower than in other Brazilian</div><div>mangroves. The richness and species composition were similar for the four</div><div>mangrove areas studied. The genus with the best qualitative occurrence was</div><div>Bostrychia, with three species in all sampled areas. There was a distinction in</div><div>the pattern of biomass of macroalgae assemblages occurring in mangroves</div><div>of Baía de Todos os Santos, suggesting that the sampled regions do not have</div><div>similar conditions for the development of species typical of “Bostrychietum”.</div> ER -
