Morphological Characterization of Brown Algae Turbinaria sp From The Coastal Water of Aboru Village Central Maluku

The coastal water of Aboru village is one site with high diversity marine biological resources such as brown algae. purpose this study was to determine the morphological character algae Turbinaria from Village. procedure consists field collection, and observations in laboratory. characters observed were presence/absence rhizoid/holdfast, cauloid/stipe, phylloid/blades, pyrenoid/vesicle (air bubbles), thallus length, phylloid branching type. data obtained analyzed descriptively. results showed that there three types Turbinaria, namely T. ornata, decurens, conoides. All species have rhizoids, cauloids, phylloids, while pyrenoids are only found ornata. type ornata decurens sympodial, conoides monopodial In conclusion, litle variations genus
