A new seagrass species, Halophila capricorni Larkum, is described in the section Halophila. This species differs from Halophila decipiens Ostenfeld in (i) its generally larger size, (ii) the pattern of large hairs on the proximal region of the abaxial leaf surface, (iii) the presence of male and female flowers in separate axils of the same plant, (iv) styles 15-25 mm long, and (v) dispersal by floating fruits. Halophila capricorni is found on sand in deep water in coral environments on the Great Barrier Reef and in New Caledonia. It may also be present in the Philippines and adjoining regions. © 1995.

With the increasing threat of destruction to diminishing seagrass resources, there is a need for an accurate stress monitoring procedure to be developed for species of this community. In this study chlorophyll a fluorescence (20 degrees C) was used to mo
