Sargassum natans is a species of brown algae in the family Sargassaceae.[1] In English the species goes by the common names common gulfweed, narrowleaf gulfweed, or spiny gulfweed.[2]: 126
It occurs in the Sargasso Sea.: 123 It is also pelagic[3] and reproduces by fragmentation.[4]: 65 It, along with Sargassum fluitans, have been credited with plaguing beach tourism industry in Yucatán[5] and South Florida.[6] This species serves as a substrate for colonial hydrozoans, including Aglaophenia latecarinata, which has been reported to cover more than 40% of the macroalgae's surface in some cases.[7][8]
