Abstract

This review describes the phytoplankton species in the Egyptian waters of the Red Sea and some surrounding habitats namely; Gulf of Suez, Aqaba Gulf and Suez Canal as well as the species abundance during the period from 1990 to 2010. Although many reviews on the phytoplankton species had been done for some areas of the world, a clear and concise list of the phytoplankton species for Red Sea waters (Egypt) has recently not documented. Aim of this Review: This review aims to provide a checklist of phytoplankton species found as their names and abundance appear in the cited literature, as well as their current valid, accepted names and their common synonyms. This will allow for a better understanding of the presumed phytoplankton species documented around the areas of Red Sea waters (Egypt). Place and Duration of Study: The phytoplankton species reported in this review are collected from the different published sources that represent the years spanning 1990-2010.

Review phytoplankton species Egyptian waters red sea.
