Abstract
The distributions of epibiotic seaweeds in the littoral and infralittoral zones of the Cape Verde Islands were studied. The similarity among the samples from 19 localities, with more than 80 different species of epibiotic seaweeds, was calculated using the Morisita index. Cluster and ordination analysis show patterns of distribution of epibiotic seaweeds which seem to be depending on ecological factors as well as the presence of animal hosts. The importance and use of epibiotic seaweeds to characterize benthic marine communities is discussed
