3.10 Ulva chaugulei M. G. Kavale et M. A. Kazi

Ulva chaugulei M. G. Kavale et M. A. Kazi ( Figure 4 View Figure 4 ) was reported for first time in Pacific Ocean ( type locality: Vayangani Maharashtra, India) by Kazi et al. 2016. To date, the distribution of U. chaugulei is reported by molecular data in Brazil (Carneiro et al. 2023) and Persian Gulf ( Pirian et al. 2016). In Mediterranean Sea, the first record of U. chaugulei was reported by Krupnik et al. (2018) through molecular analyses of herbarium samples collected in 2015/2016 from the Israel coasts. In this study, we record the presence of a sample of U. chaugulei (RM0287) also on the Tunisia coast ( Gabes) and previously reported as Ulva sp. by molecular analyses.
