Abstract
This paper reports 242 taxa at species and infraspecies level of the benthic marine algae (75 Phaeophyceae, 129 Rhodophyta, and 38 Chlorophyta) from Northern Cyprus. Among them, 107 taxa are recorded for the first time from the coast of Northern Cyprus. Sampling was made at seven different localities (Yeşilırmak, Koruçam, Girne, Dip Karpaz, Kumyalı, Salamis, and Gazi Mağusa) in North Cyprus in 2005˗2008.
Key words: Algae, Chlorophyta, Cyprus, Phaeophyceae, Rhodophyta.
Introduction
The benthic marine algae of the eastern Mediterranean Sea have been investigated by several researchers (Haritonidis and Tsekos 1976; Mayhoub 1976; Tsekos and Haritonidis 1977, Öztürk 1988, 1993, 1996a,b; Aysel and Gezerler 1996; Aysel 1997a,b; Öztürk and Taşkın 1999; Taşkın et al. 2001, Einav 2007). Taşkın et al. (2008a) reported 382 taxa (species and infraspecies level) to occur in the Turkish Mediterranean coast. Three hundred taxa (species and infraspecies level) were reported from Israel by Einav and Israel (2008). Recently, three alien marine algae, Codium parvulum (Bory ex Audouin) P. C. Silva, Codium arabicum Kützing, and Caulerpa taxifolia var. distichophylla (Sonder) Verlaque, Huisman et Procaccini, have been reported for the first time in the eastern Mediterranean Sea (Israel et al. 2010; Hoffman et al. 2011; Jongma et al. 2013).
Cyprus is the third largest island in the Mediterranean Sea (its area 9251 km2) found 390 km north of Egypt, 75 km south of Turkey and 380 km from the Rhodes. Several studies including or dealing only with the marine algae of Cyprus have been made by Argyrou et al. (1999), Benli et al. (1999), Cirik et al.
144
(2000), Verlaque et al. (2000), Kurt et al. (2008), Taşkın et al. (2008b), and Öztürk et al. (2009). Seven alien and invasive marine plants taxa [Womersleyella setacea (Hollenberg) R. E. Norris, Polysiphonia fucoides (Hudson) Greville, Polysiphonia atlantica Kapraun et Norris, Stypopodium schimperi (Buchinger ex Kützing) Verlaque et Boudouresque, Caulerpa racemosa (Forsskål) J. Agardh var. racemosa, Caulerpa racemosa var. cylindracea (Sonder) Verlaque, Huisman et Boudouresque, and Halophila stipulacea (Forsskål) Ascherson] were reported from the Northern Cyprus by Taşkın et al. (2008). Recently, the benthic marine blue green algae have been studied from Northern Cyprus by Ulcay et al. (2013), and 47 taxa at species and infraspecies level have been reported, eight of which have been recorded for the first time in the Mediterranean Sea.
The aim of the present study is to increase the knowledge of the benthic marine algal flora (Phaeophyceae, Rhodophyta, and Chlorophyta) of Northern Cyprus.
Materials and Methods
Sampling was made at seven different localities [Yeşilırmak (35°10'28'' N ˗ 32°44'29'' E), Koruçam (35°24′14″ N ˗ 32°55′16″ E), Girne (35°20′44″ N ˗ 33°19′42″ E), Dip Karpaz (35°36′22″ N ˗ 34°26′53″ E), Kumyalı (35°24′59″ N ˗ 34°07′70″ E), Salamis (35°15′28″ N ˗ 33°54′29″ E), Gazi Mağusa (35°07′03′′ N ˗ 33°57′29′′ E)] in North Cyprus in 2005˗2008 (Figure 1). The materials were collected by snorkelling and SCUBA˗diving, and specimens were preserved in 4% formaldehyde in sea water. Voucher specimens are deposited in the Department of Biology of the Celal Bayar University (Manisa, Turkey) and Herbarium Center (NEUN), Near East University (Lefkoşa). The identifications of the marine algae were made according to previous studies (Hamel 1931˗1939; Feldmann 1937; Abbot and Hollenberg 1976; Aysel 1980; Coppejans 1983; Fletcher 1987; Öztürk 1988; Burrows 1991; Womersley 1998; Furnari et al. 2001; Bressan and Babbini 2003; Brodie and Irvine 2003). Nomenclature was checked against Guiry and Guiry (2013).
Results and Discussion
The present study reports 242 taxa at species and infraspecies level of the benthic marine algae (75 Phaeophyceae, 129 Rhodophyta, and 38 Chlorophyta) (Table 1), and most taxa were found in Girne (Figure 2). The number of taxa found at each sampling site is as follows: 25 taxa Girne, 10 taxa Gazi Mağusa, 5 taxa Dip Karpaz and 3 taxa Koruçam.

The most common taxa were Phaeophyceae Cystoseira spp., Dictyopteris polypodioides, Dictyota spp., Padina pavonica, Stypopodium schimperi and Sargassum acinarium, Rhodophyta Amphiroa cryptarthrodia, Callithamnion corymbosum, Ceramium ciliatum var. robustum, Erythrotrichia carnea, Ganonema farinosum, Haliptilon attenuatum, Halopithys incurva, Jania rubens, Laurencia obtusa, Polysiphonia spp. and Spyridia filamentosa, and Chlorophyta Caulerpa prolifera, Caulerpa racemosa var. cylindracea, Flabellia petiolata and Ulva spp. Rare and small benthic marine algae were also found: Cladosiphon irregularis, Corynophlaea flaccida, Dictyopteris lucida, Microspongium stilophorae, Padina ditristromatica, (Phaeophyceae), Botryocladia madagascariensis, Botryocladia skottsbergii, Ceramium cupulatum, Colaconema endophyticum, Erythrotrichia rosea, Gastroclonium reflexum, Laurencia minuta (Rhodophyta), Didymosporangium repens, Ulva intestinalis L. f. cylindracea, and Ulva intestinalis L. f. ramosa (Chlorophyta).
Figure 2. Number of taxa (species and infraspecies) at sampling stations
in Northern Cyprus
Cirik et al. (2000) reported 135 taxa at species and infraspecies level of the benthic marine algae (27 Phaeophyceae, 83 Rhodophyta, and 25 Chlorophyta) from Northern Cyprus. Therefore, we carried out a detalied algal study of a narrow area along the northern coast of Cyprus, and 107 taxa are reported for the first time for Northern Cyprus.

Kuzey Kıbrıs Bentik Deniz Algleri (Doğu Akdeniz)
Özet
Bu çalışmada Kuzey Kıbrıs’tan bentik deniz alglerinden 242 taksa (tür ve türaltı seviyede) (75 Phaeophyceae, 129 Rhodophyta, and 38 Chlorophyta) rapor edilmektedir. Bunlardan 107 taksa Kuzey Kıbrıs kıyılarından ilk kez için kayıt edilmektedir. Örnekleme Kuzey Kıbrıs’ta yedi farklı istasyondan (Yeşilırmak, Koruçam, Girne, Dip Karpaz, Kumyalı, Salamis ve Gazi Mağusa) 2005 ve 2008 yılları arasında yapılmıştır.
