Lipid and ash contents were highin Halodule uninervis with a composition of5.3 and 28.7% respectively.All the proximate compositions were low in Syringodium isoetifoliumcompared with the other two seagrass species. Seagrasses can be found throughout the world except at Specimens of H.uninervis from two localities in Japan showed clear differences in leaf width. Shoal Grass (Halodule wrightii) Shoal grass colonizes disturbed areas where conditions are too harsh for turtle and manatee seagrasses to occur. Halodule uninervis. It’s a species that is quite bigger than the previous seagrass, the Halodule pinifolia. Seagrasses, as marine angiosperms, play important roles in coastal ecosystems. The Halodule uninervis is found in the reefs of the Great Barrier Reef. An occurrence of 748 species of angiosperm belonging to 486 genera under 127 families were recorded, identified, and … 1999), and Halophila hawaiiana (McDermid et al. The life-history strategy of these two species is colonizing, and compared to other tropical species they are fast-growing, not very resistant to disturbance but have an ability to recover rapidly ( Kilminster et al., 2015 ). With increasing anthropogenic impacts, they are facing dramatic declines on a global scale. Govaerts, R. et al. Halophila is well-known as a complex taxonomic challenge mainly due to high morphological plasticity. The average length of this species is 15 centimetres. 2020. Spectral Characteristics of Seagrass with Landsat TM in Northern Sabah Coastline, Malaysia . In the period of tidal immersion, P. strandesi extends its sand-colored oral disc and tentacles upon the sedi-ment surface, and is partially covered and uncovered as sand is moved by wave surges. We tentatively referred to them as H.uninervis “Narrow” and H. Protein,carbohydrate, chlorophyllandfiber were high in Cymodocea serrulata with a composition of 19.1, 19.8, 2.12and 37% respectively. In sum, the majority of the Halodule seagrass beds in the lagoon had a growing tendency for the long-term persistence of macroalgal canopies, while only a few regions had non-significant trends with watershed characteristics, mainly in the south Halodule uninervis (narrow variety), Halodule uninervis (wide variety), Siringodium isoetifolium , Cymodocea rotundata , Cymodocea serrulata , Halophila ovalis , Halophila decipiens . 2003).
