Gracilariaceae

Gracilariaceae are a family of red algae notable for their slender, often branching forms that thrive in marine environments. These algae have a gelatinous texture due to their high agar content, making them economically significant. Typically found in shallow, nutrient-rich waters, their growth is influenced by sunlight and tidal movements, adapting to both calm and dynamic marine settings.
