摘要: Admiralty Bay is located on the western side of King George Island. Although several research teams different nationalities have carried out surveys in region for decades, there are only two publications dealing with seaweed flora bay. Here, we report a taxonomic survey seaweeds collected during 25th Brazilian Antarctic Expedition (December 2006/November 2007). We discovered 42 species (21 Rhodophyta, 14 Phaeophyceae, and 7 Chlorophyta), corresponding to an increase about 31% biodiversity hitherto known region. Considering that Peninsula, adjacent Island seems be one most rapidly warming spots planet, this kind may provide valuable tool detecting eventual changes biodiversity.
