Algae of Australia

by Gerald T Kraft

Published 1 November 2007
Lord Howe Island is fringed by the world's southernmost consolidated coral reef. The Capricorn Group is a series of patch reefs and low coral cays. For more than 30 years Dr Kraft has studied the species-rich marine algal communities of these reefs, paying special attention to subtidal habitats. This authoritative account, documenting the green algae of Lord Howe Island and the southern Great Barrier Reef, will, in due course, be followed by treatments of the brown and red algae.
