  abstract = {{T}urbinaria{J}.{V}. {L}amouroux is a genus of brown algae of the family {S}argassaceae ({F}ucales, {P}haeophyceae) found throughout the tropics, subtropics, and occasionally in temperate marine regions. {T}here are currently 22 recognized species, although the taxonomy of{T}urbinariais under current refinement with the advancement of genetic analysis techniques for this genus. {E}cologically{T}urbinariaplays an important role, as its morphology, life history, chemical and mechanical defenses, and rafting dispersal ability have contributed to its increasing distribution across reefs worldwide and to its role in the phase shift from coral to macroalgal reefs worldwide. {A}lthough{T}urbinariais occasionally consumed and used as a fertilizer locally, this genus is not currently highly exploited for industrial use, but research into the potential of{T}urbinariaextracts for cosmetic, nutritive, fertilizer, and pharmaceutical industries has yielded some promising results.{T}urbinaria's alginate, fucoidan, pigment, and unique fatty acid content may prove useful in medical applications due to their antioxidant and anticancer properties.},
