Abstract
Data on population biomass of turtle grass ( Thalassia testudinum), manatee grass ( Syringodium filiforme), and two species of the genus Halophila (H. decipiens and H. engelmanni) from the northwestern Cuban shelf, as well as on metabolic rates of these and Halodule beaudettei, are given in this paper. Special attention was paid to photosynthesis as a function of light quantity and quality for Thalassia and Syringodium. Total population photosynthesis and respiration on daily and yearly bases, as well as bottom characteristics and their role as superficial distribution limiting factors, are also presented.
