Abstract

The brown algal species Zosterocarpus oedogonium (Ectocarpales, Phaeophyceae), previously known only from locations in the Mediterranean Sea, was found growing attached in 20 m depth off Farilhão Island, Berlengas Archipelago, Portugal. This record represents the first report of this species from the Atlantic Ocean.
