Most red algae are marine and benthic, although ~150 are reported in freshwater habitats, mainly in streams or rivers. Sheath (2003) lists 25 species of Batrachospermum, some of these the most widespread freshwater reds in North America. The thermophile Cyanidium caldarum inhabitats hot springs, and is considered to be a red (Broadwater and Scott 1994). |
