To elucidate the possible implications of phenolic content in survival strategies of two tropical brown fucaleans,  Turbinaria ornata  and  Sargassum mangarevense , we determined total phenolic contents in relation to ontogenic stages, and then followed spatio-temporal variations. Samples were collected at different sites and seasons. Both species exhibited low phenolic contents with, however, some differences: levels were higher in the algae from grazer- and nutrient-rich sites, and during the austral summer. Moreover, adults produced more phenolic compounds than immature stages. In addition,  Turbinaria ornata  had higher levels than  Sargassum mangarevense . Parent thalli may exert an indirect protection of easily-grazed recruits which settle in close vicinity. The differences between species in protection of recruits would, therefore, derive from the respective species morphologies. A mechanical protection can be hypothesized in  S. mangarevense  because of its soft flexible thallus: plants can sweep around their base and, therefore, would need to produce less phenolics as a repellent than  Turbinaria . On the other hand, due to its relatively tough texture, together with its upright-thallus,  Turbinaria  has a greater need to protect recruits by chemicals. The low phenolic content observed from thalli collected at the outer barrier reef may be explained by an exudation of phenolics after dessication.
