Scientific Survey of Marine Algae and their Resources in the Philippine Islands (Last Team)

菲律宾由棉兰老岛、巴拉望岛、科维萨亚岛和吕宋岛组成，分别拥有热带、亚热带和温带海洋藻类植物。人们普遍认为，海藻区系从菲律宾和台湾扩展到日本群岛。1985年，第一次调查是在维萨亚群岛进行的。第二次调查于1987年10月至1988年2月在巴拉望岛、宿务岛和棉兰老岛进行。第三次调查于1989年11月至1990年2月在吕宋岛进行。1990年7月对罗宗岛、宿务岛和巴拉望岛的各专题资料进行了总结调查和整理。通过调查，菲律宾国家博物馆京都标本馆保存了大量底栖海藻(蓝、红、棕、绿)，明确了西太平洋海藻的植物地理分布。特别对马尾藻、江豚、龙须菜、龙须菜等常用海草和海藻进行了分类学和生态学研究。采集后标本上观察到海藻生殖器官的形成。通过对海洋浮游植物的净采集，所有调查站都对水温和盐度等海洋学因素进行了测量。菲律宾三名生物学家在调查中联合开展了工作，并访问了日本的几所大学。这一项目的科学报告将在不久的将来由这本摘要书出版。

The Philippines is composed of the islands of Mindanao, Palawan, co***** Visayas and Luzon, with tropical, subtropical and temperate marine algal flora, respectively. It is generally believed that the marine algal flora is extended their distribution from the Philippine and Taiwan to the islands of Japan In 1985, the first survey was made in the Visayas. The second survey was carried out in the islands of Palawan, Cebu and Mindanao from October 1987 to February 1988. The third survey was carried out in the island of Luzon from November 1989 to February 1990. The present team has been carried on the summarizzed survey and arrangement of data of each subject in the islands of Lozon, Cebu and Palawan in July 1990.From these survey, many collections of benthic marine algae (blue greens, reds, browns, greens) has been kept in the herbarium of Kyoto, National Museum in Philippines, and the phytogeographical distribution of the marine algae in the Western Pacific has been made in clear. Specially, usefull seagrass and seaweeds of Sargassum, Gracilaria, Eucheuma and Laurencia have been done the studies on taxonomy and ecology by the members of this project. Formation of reproduction organ of seaweeds was observed on specimens after collecting. Net collections of marine phytoplankton, measurements of oceanographical factors such as water temperature and salinity has been done at all of the survey stations.Three members of Philippine phycologists have done the joint work in the survey, and have visited in several universities in Japan. The scien***** reports of this project will be published by the summarized book in near future.
