Abstract
In the present paper, three dictyotalean brown algae (Dictyopteris lucida, Dictyota cyanoloma, and Padina pavonicoides) are reported for the first time from Turkey. D. cyanoloma and P. pavonicoides are also reported for the first time from the eastern Mediterranean Sea. The species were collected in the sublittoral zone near İzmir (Aegean coast of Turkey). The data concerning the habitat and morphology of these species are presented.
I am grateful to Prof. Olivier De Clerck (Ghent University, Belgium) for critically reviewing the manuscript. A part of this study has been supported by the TOTAL FOUNDATION.
