Coralline algae are important functional group in the coral reef ecosystem. This study was carried out by a series of line transects run underwater with SCUBA apparatus from the reef flat to a depth of 9 m in each of the 11 research stations within the Sanya Coral Reefs in 2010. Among the inshore sites and the offshore sites of Sanya reefs, species composition and abundance of coralline algae were examined in relation to environmental factors. A total of 25 species belonging to three families and 10 genuses were identified, with the family Corallinaceae dominated in the study area. The eight dominant species were Amphiroa ephedraea, Mesophyllum simulans, Neogoniolithon fosliei, M. mesomorphum, Pneophyllum conicum, Porolithon onkodes, and Hydrolithon boergesenii. The sampling stations were divided into inshore type and offshore type based on the results of multivariate statistical analysis. The coralline algae species at the inshore sites were mainly turbidity, deposition rate (0~63 µm) and suspended solids (SS) tolerance species, while the species at the offshore sites were mainly light-dependent and sediment sensitive species. The results of community similarity analysis based on species composition and abundance of coralline algae showed the significant spatial variability. The correlation analysis between biotic and abiotic variables indicated that the best 2-variable combination (turbidity and salinity) showed a significant effect on the pattern of coralline algae assemblages between the two types of research sites in Sanya reefs. The living cover of coralline algae showed that deeper water is higher than that in shallow water due to the different degree of disturbance at the same study sites. This result suggests that physical disturbance, either natural or man-made, is a more important factor in regulating the coralline algae community structure within the coral reef distinct zone of Sanya.
