Comparative taxonomy of algae assemblages in mangal environments.

作为国际红树林藻类研究计划，1991年9月18日至10月19日在东澳大利亚和西澳大利亚进行了三次大型考察，1992年5月12日至1992年6月1日由R. J. King组织，南下加利福尼亚的Maxico，8月22日由J. A.West和Southeast Islands of冲绳，1993年9月19日，主要由原洋平（Y.Hara）组织。前一组的目标是确定Calogrossa，Botrychia和其他红藻的属和种的分类及其分布，以比较这些地方和以前由个别成员调查的其他地方之间的物种组成。积累了红树林微藻区系的基本信息，揭示了红树林微藻的主要组成成分;单细胞红藻、绿藻、甲藻等藻类类群是后一类类群中各成员研究的主要类群。前两次考察的成果发表在第三次考察前不久在冲绳举行的筑波国际藻类学论坛和横滨第十五届国际大会的研讨会上。该项目的其他一些成果已在植物学或藻类学期刊上发表。在冲绳考察结束后，我们讨论了如何发表和总结我们随后的成果以及这个项目的最终报告。在接下来的两年里，所有成员都被要求将其作为原始文件发表。最终报告将被总结为教材，暂定名为《红树林藻类介绍及案例研究》。大型藻类和微型藻类的章节将分别由金和原编辑。

As the International Research Project of Mangrove algae, three major research trips have been held at East- and West-Australia from Sept.18, 1991 to Oct.19, 1991, organized by R.J.King, South Baja California of Maxico from May 12, 1992 to Jun.1, 1992, guided by J. A.West and Southeast Islands of Okinawa, Japan from Aug.22, 1993 to Sept.19, 1993, mainly orginized by Y.Hara.Stuff members in this project were preliminarily divided into two groups on the basis of their major research organisms ; Macroalgae group and Microalgae group. Objectives of the former group have been settled the generic and specific taxonomy of Calogrossa, Bostrychia and other red algae inhabiting dominantly mangal environments and their distributions in order to compare the species compositions among these localities and others previously surveyed by individual member. Accumulation of the basic information on microalgal floras in mangroves and discloses the main components of mangrove microalgae ; unicellular red algae, chlorarachniophytes, dinoflagellates and other algae groups which were studied by each member in the latter groups were major. Realized results of the first two expeditions were published in the symposium session of the International Phycology Forum in Tsukuba and XV International Congress in Yokohama held just before the third expedition in Okinawa. Some of the other fruits on this project have been published in botanical or phycological journals. After the expedition in Okinawa, we discussed how to publish and summarized our subsequent results and the final report of this project. During next two years, all members were requested to publish them as the original papers. The final report will be summarized as the textbook temporally entitled "Introduction to mangrove algae and the case researches". The chapters of macroalgae and microalgae are going to be edited by King and Hara, respectively.
