Sažetak
Samples were collected at 7 transects from 5 to 35m depth in the area of Dubrovnik at different time intervals from 1977 to 1983. A total of 123 taxa (Cyanophyta and Diatomeae were not studied) were determined. Rhodophyta group are predominant with 87 taxa (70.7%) followed by Phaeophyta with 22 (17.9 %) and Chlorophyta with 14 taxa 811.4 %). The largest number of epiphytic algae (86) was found at 15 m depth. At all depths Rhodophyta were dominant and mainly followed by the taxons of Phaeophyta and Chlorophyta. The taxa that occur continuously at all depths were established, as well as very frequent taxa but not found at all depths, very rare taxa and taxa with discontinuous distribution. Preliminary seasonal distribution showed the taxa present in epiphytic flora all year round and taxa present in single or more seasons.
