Summary
This review covers aspects of macroalgal assemblages within temperate Australian coastal waters. The ecological accounts deal primarily with the subtidal region due to time restrictions. This region is far more extensive than the intertidal and of significance to near-shore coastal eyostems. The review complements comprehensive review presented by Clayton and King (1990). Clayton and King (1990) also include aspects of macroalgal taxonomy and bology in the Australasian region
