Abstract

Multivariate analysis of qualitative and quantitative data from algal communities, collected at three coastal areas of the Aegean Sea in the upper infralittoral zone, has been carried out using the PRIMER software. The aim was to detect groups of species reflecting differences in environmental conditions. A multidimensional scaling of the results demonstrated the presence of three different groups of Cystoseira species, corresponding to different hydrodynamic conditions.
