摘 要:Objective:To study ecological parameters and biochemical composition of brown seaweed,Turbinaria ornata(***)collected from Hurghada shores,Red Sea coast of Egypt during September,October and November,***:*** and its associated seaweeds were collected,identified and their abundances were *** of collection site was analyzed physicochemically as well as qualitative and quantitative analyses of *** was analyzed for protein,total carbohydrate,lipids,alginic acid,agar,pigments,minerals and heavy ***:The results showed that macroalgal species recorded along Hurghada shores belong to Phaeophyta,Rhodophyta and *** collection site,the moderate temperature,slight alkaline pH,low turbidity,high dissolved oxygen and valuable nutrient content of saline water exerted the massive growth of *** with maximum abundance(24%)during *** phytoplankton community was quite diverse with a maximum numbers of taxa(104.2×10^(8) cell/L)recorded during *** of *** alga powder showed that high soluble carbohydrate(2.80±0.10 mg/g dry/weight)and chlorophyll c(0.0017±0.0001 mg/g fresh weight)contents were recorded during September;while high contents of protein(37.70±0.60 mg/g dry weight),lipids(3.10±0.06 mg/g dry weight),polysaccharides(agar and alginates),carotenoids(0.0160±0.0004 mg/g fresh weight),minerals and heavy metals were recorded during ***:The study revealed that physicochemical analyses of water were varied slightly during the three months and suitable for the growth of *** contains high amount of most biochemical constituents during October.
