Macroscopic red algae were sampled simultaneously with diatom sampling from 60 locations in central Finnish rivers and at some rivers in south coast rivers in the summers 1986, 1993 and 1994. In those samples 17 red algal taxa from 5 genera ( Audouinella (3). Batrachospermum (7). Lemanea (4), Sirodotia (2) and Tuomeya (1)) were identified. Some of these taxa were new to Finland and two were new for Europe.
