  abstract = {{T}his innovative study investigates 18 {T}urbinaria and {S}argassum brown seaweed samples from three archipelagos of the {S}outh {W}est {P}acific {O}cean. {T}he phenolic content of crude and size-fractionated extracts was determined by the {F}olin-{C}iocalteu method; fucoxanthin was measured using high performance liquid chromatography. {A}lthough the phenolic content proved to be low for the species of both genera tested, the levels in the species of {T}urbinaria were higher than those of {S}argassum tested, except in the {F}iji islands where both species produced similar contents. {T}hese investigations also highlighted variations of total phenolic content with spatial, reef morphology and depth. {A} large number of small phenolic compounds (< 2000 {D}a) were observed irrespective of the genus analyzed. {N}evertheless, the composition of the phenolic pool varied in relation with the genus, the archipelago from which the material was collected, geomorphological features and the depth of each collection field site. {A} similar observation was for fucoxanthin content and in general, the measured constituents of the {T}urbinaria were less than those of the {S}argassum species. {T}he results are discussed in terms of inter- and intra-specific variability. {V}ariations in both phenolic and fucoxanthin content were noted in tropical members of the {S}argassaceae; such differences could be a result of specific chemical defense mechanisms adopted by members of each genus.},
