Description 61-64
The growth of Asparagopsis delilei and other seaweeds have been
described from Putty and Valai
Islands of Mandapam
region from August 1993 to March 1995. At both the islands, plants started
appearing on the reef from August, attained maximum growth during November -
March and subsequently disappeared gradually from the reef. Antheridial and cystqcarpic
plants and tetrasporic phase (Falkenbergia) of Asparagopsis delilei
were recognised. A positive correlation was observed between length and fresh
weight, whereas, negative correlation was observed between algal biomass and the
environmental parameters such as salinity and temperature of seawater. Thirty-two
taxa were found in association with A. delilei at both the islands. Of
these, Sargassum wightii and Chondrococcus  hornemanii were occurring throughout the study
period. The results indicated good biomass of A. delilei can be harvested
from these islands during its peak growth period December and January to meet our
iodine requirements partially.
