    Among the numerous allochthonous algae recorded in the Lagoon of Venice on the hard substrata over the last 15-20 years, the Ochrophyta Undaria pinnatifida and Sargassum muticum are those with the highest degree of diffusion, abundance and competition level with the native species. In this paper cycles of development [life history] are described and the 2009 distribution are up-to-dated for the whole lagoon and particularly for the city of Venice, where the two species showed the greatest diffusion. Possible eradication techniques are discussed, considering both the experimentations performed locally and, at a wider scale, at other sites of the world

    We present a check-list of the seaweeds for Venice lagoon, based on literature and recent records. At present the total number of taxa is 277, including 71 Chlorophyceae s.l. (25.6%), 148 Rhodophyceae (53.4%), 56 Phaeophyceae (20.2%) and 2 Chrysophyceae (0.7%). Using present day taxonomy, the number of taxa is about double that in previous lists. Since 1983, there have been 92 (ca. 33%) new records for Venice littoral zone. Of these, 19 (ca. 21%) are first records for the Mediterranean Sea, and many are alien taxa that seriously compete with the growth of indigenous species. The number of taxa that have disappeared from the lagoon, or have not been found in the recent years, is 96

    A study of the benthic algal vegetation in the low middlittoral and infralittoral zones was carried out on the stones of the inlets of the Lagoon of Venice (Northern Adriatic Sea). 69 Rhodophyta (52%), 29 Ochrophyta (22%) and 35 Chlorophyta (26%) were found in the eighteen stations. Taxa number, total covering and both ratios Rhodophyta/Phaeophyta and photophilous/sciophilous species are not balanced. A reduction of species with high quality status has been observed in comparison to the works since the 1960

    In the spring-summer of 2003, during a study concerning the submerged aquatic vegetation of five fishponds in the Lagoon of Venice, 41 species have been recorded (37 seaweeds and 4 seagrasses) and a map of coverage of the main species has been realized. The submerged vegetation is simplified and characterized by the presence of few species that clearly prevail on the others, both for specific coverage and biomass. Considering the Quantitative Dominance, the Chlorophyceae Chaetomorpha linum, Cladophora spp. and Valonia aegagrophila and the seagrasses Cymodocea nodosa and Ruppia maritima are the main species that colonize the fishponds
