Identificador de Algas

Identification of genera of macroalgae dichotomous keys based on published.

Application serves to identify the gender of the main macro-algae that develop in the Argentine coast.

The identification is based on dichotomous keys (Parma et al, 1987; Piriz, M. L.) from the observation of morphological and cytological characteristics of the thalli.

Following the various options, we reach gender determination. At this point, the application has a series of images to compare with the specimen to be determined.

Created for students of the chairs of General Botany and Navy and Marine Organisms Biology of the Bachelor of Marine Biology, ESCiMar-UNCo.

For the final version will incorporate photographs and descriptions of each species based on the descriptions of Zaixso Boraso, 2013.
