Description 70-73
Effect of two levels (low and high) of salinity (20 and 35 ppt), light
intensity (26 and 72 μEa m-2 s-1.) and
nitrogen source (as nitrate and ammonia) on growth rates, chlorophyll a and
b, carotenoids, protein, carbohydrate and lipid composition of Ulva
fasciata were studied in a 3×2 factorial laboratory experiment. Specific
growth rate (SGR) was maximum at high light intensity and high salinity. Low
light intensity and high salinity enhance the accumulation of pigments,
protein, carbohydrate and lipid contents. Ammonium in the form of NH4SO4
is relatively better nitrogen source for maximum growth and biochemical
composition of Ulva fasciata.
