Plasticity in morphology is a common phenomenon of aquatic plants. Halimeda (Chlorophyta: Halimedaceae) usually supersaturated with calcium carbonate and found tropical subtropical regions. Among members Halimeda, both species including macroloba H. opuntia, often occur different habitats. Haplotype diversity network were reported the sea oceanic systems. However, there are no reports genetic Vietnamese waters. This present study carried out sample collections along coast Southern Viet Nam,...
