COMPARISON OF THE CHEMICAL COMPOSITION OF SOME MARINE ALGAE

Abstract

Very few analyses of marine algae of the Atlantic coast have been reported in the literature as compared with those of the Pacific coast forms. There exist, furthermore, sharp differences in the type and abundance of species in these two regions. For Canadian waters of the Atlantic coast no analyses have yet been reported. The abundance of this material on the shores of the Maritime Provinces establishes it as a natural resource of
