Major aim of the present study was to examine the amount of alginic acid, carbohydrate and ash in two species of brown algae Spatoglossum variable and Stoechospermum marginatum. The observation revealed that the alginic acid yield and carbohydrates were high in those species when they attained maximum biomass. The highest concentrations of alginic acid and carbohydrates were found during the winter season (November-February).
