This journal focuses on the study of algae, encompassing their taxonomy, diversity, and distribution across various marine and freshwater environments. Research includes the application of molecular and morphological methods for species identification and delimitation, investigation of algal bioactive compounds and their potential applications in medicine and industry, and the ecological roles of algae in ecosystems. Studies also address algal responses to environmental changes and their use in aquaculture and bioremediation.
