Sargassum horneri golden tides are increasingly becoming a marine ecological problem in the Yellow Sea (YS) and East China Sea. To understand the genetic relationship between the attached S. horneri along the China coast and the floating biomass in the YS, we used partial rbcL, ITS2, cox1, cox3, and...
