Abstract

The term 'Seaweeds' is the common name of these marine macroalgae which evolved in the late Precambrian (c. 900–600 mybp) and exist in different forms on planet Earth (Fig.1). Most macroalgae are lithophytic and attached to rock, shells, or pilings. Seaweed species are found throughout the world's coastal temperature zones, including tropical, temperate, and polar areas. These organisms are evolutionarily quite diverse in terms of morphological and anatomical variance, and their life history patterns are unique that are comprised of recurring sequences of somatic and nuclear phases. All seaweeds at some stage in their life cycles are unicellular, as spores or zygotes, and may be temporarily planktonic. They have three basic types of life histories which are termed 'haplontic, diplontic and haplodiplontic
