摘要
Of the six genera of seagrasses recorded in India, four were present throughout a 1-year study period at a station off Hare Island, Tuticorin (8 degrees 45' N, 78 degrees 12' E), in the Gulf of Mannar region. Phytochemical analysis of these seagrass extracts revealed the presence of pharmaceutically potent secondary metabolites and appreciable quantities of primary and some secondary metabolites.
