Marine biomes are the source of variation which mainly consists of a diverse range of species.
Sargassum is a genus of brown macroalgae in the order Fucales. Numerous species are distributed throughout the temperate and tropical oceans of the world, where they generally inhabit shallow water and coral reefs. However, the genus may be best known for its planktonic species.
Laminaria is a genus of 31 species of brown algae, all sharing the common name 'kelp'. It is found in the north Atlantic ocean and the northern Pacific ocean at depths from 8 to 30 m in the warmer waters of the Mediterranean sea and off Brazil.
