“…However, autumn algae showed signs of senescence and were not growing. The uncoupled trend of growth and PE accumulation supports Morgan and Simpson's (1981a,b,c) hypothesis that PE has a storage role. The relationship between wave force and PE suggests that increasing water turbulence further facilitated N uptake and accumulation due to the thinning of the boundary layer on the algal surface (Lobban and Harrison 1997).…”

“…Besides nutrient seawater availability, the intertidal ecosystem is subjected to the seasonal variation of many environmental factors such as wave force or day length. Morgan and Simpson (1981a,c) suggested that apart from seawater N concentration, irradiance and temperature were also involved in N storage in Palmaria palmata (Linnaeus) Kuntze, but their research was restricted to greenhouse cultivation conditions. Our study is the first attempt to describe the seasonal variation of major nutrient pools of field populations and to relate them to the environmental variables that dominate the intertidal.…”

The annual variation of major nitrogen pools, phosphorus, carbon, ash, and thallus water content in relation to seasonal environmental changes was studied in two northern Spanish populations of the edible seaweed Palmaria palmata (Linnaeus) Kuntze. Observed patterns were investigated using Spearman rank order correlation coefficients. There were significant relationships between thallus nutrient content and nitrate and orthophosphate seawater concentration, irradiance, temperature, and wave force. The highest levels of total N and P and nitrogenous compounds were observed during autumn and winter because the thallus stored N‐ and P‐rich compounds in response to high nutrient seawater concentration when growth was limited by low light and temperature. Phycoerythrin and other proteins were the main N reserves. Thallus P content was higher in algae from the eutrophic site. During spring, reduced N and P thallus content and increased ash, water, and C content were observed in the growing fronds. N and P seawater concentrations were undetectable during summer when nutrient reserves were low and growth was reduced and eventually suppressed, suggesting nutrient limiting conditions. Palmaria palmata clearly could take advantage of elevated N and P concentrations to create storage reserves in winter to support early summer growth. This storage response reduced the dependence of algal nutrition on the external nutrient supply and supports the use of pulse fertilization to diminish summer nutrient limitation of cultured algae.

“…Total protein contents of P. palmata were maximum in winter and minimum in summer, as previously shown by Galland-Irmouli et al (1999). The water-soluble carbohydrates values were in agreement with those recorded in previous studies, demonstrating that the amount of water-soluble sugars in G. turuturu ( Denis et al 2009;Munier et al 2013) is lower than that recorded for P. palmata (Morgan et al 1980;Morgan and Simpson 1981;Rosen et al 2000).…”

-Vibrio harveyi is the main pathogen of the European abalone Haliotis tuberculata, and recently caused important mortalities at the production sites of this marine gastropod in France. In the present work, the monthly antibacterial activity of two red seaweed species from the French Atlantic coast, the native Palmaria palmata and the introduced Grateloupia turuturu, were investigated against the abalone pathogen Vibrio harveyi strain ORM4. Water-soluble extracts were screened using the microplate method. Grateloupia turuturu showed an antibacterial activity with a maximal growth inhibition in spring of around 16%. In contrast, Palmaria palmata was inactive, as further growth of the bacteria was observed. Preliminary one-dimensional proton nuclear magnetic-resonance ( 1 H NMR) profiles identified the differences between the two water-soluble extracts.

“…Nitrogen uptake can be as much as 50% faster in P. palmata when 80% of nitrogen is present as ammonium instead of nitrate ). Morgan and Simpson (1981a) concluded that ammonium was taken up three times faster than nitrate. The biofiltration equipment of the systems used in this study was originally sized for a maximum of 10 t of finfish biomass per system.…”

Palmaria palmata was integrated with Atlantic halibut Hippoglossus hippoglossus on a commercial farm for one year starting in November, with a temperature range of 0.4 to 19.1°C. The seaweed was grown in nine plastic mesh cages (each 1.25 m 3 volume) suspended in a concrete sump tank (46 m 3 ) in each of three recirculating systems. Two tanks received effluent water from tanks stocked with halibut, and the third received ambient seawater serving as a control. Thalli were tumbled by continuous aeration, and held under a constant photoperiod of 16 : 8 (L : D). Palmaria stocking density was 2.95 kg m -3 initially, increasing to 9.85 kg m -3 after a year. Specific growth rate was highest from April to June (8.0 to 9.0°C), 1.1% d -1 in the halibut effluent and 0.8% d -1 in the control, but declined to zero or less than zero above 14°C. Total tissue nitrogen of Palmaria in effluent water was 4.2 to 4.4% DW from January to October, whereas tissue N in the control system declined to 3.0-3.6% DW from April to October. Tissue carbon was independent of seawater source at 39.9% DW. Estimated tank space required by Palmaria for 50% removal of the nitrogen excreted by 100 t of halibut during winter is about 29,000 to 38,000 m 2 , ten times the area required for halibut culture. Fifty percent removal of carbon from the same system requires 7,200 to 9,800 m 2 cultivation area. Integration of P. palmata with Atlantic halibut is feasible below 10°C, but is impractical during summer months due to disintegration of thalli associated with reproductive maturation.Key Words: bioremediation; IMTA; integrated multi-trophic aquaculture; nutrient removal; Palmaria INTRODUCTIONMany aquaculture businesses are intent not only on maximizing productivity and profitability, but also accomplishing this using environmentally responsible practices. Efficient use of energy (e.g., pumping of water) and natural resources (surrounding environment, ambient water supply, and waste streams) are key elements in this approach. Land-based recirculating aquaculture systems facilitate greater control over culture water and waste discharge than flow-through systems (Blancheton et al. 2009). Though the surrounding environment may be enhanced by moderate volumes of aquaculture discharge (White et al. 2011), the trend toward larger land-based facilities (e.g., 1,000 metric tons finfish production per year) and the associated effluent waste may pose a risk of local eutrophication. Alternatively, integration of seaweed and land-based marine finfish culture can convert these nutrients to a usable product. Previous investigations into land-based seaweed integration have included Gracilaria For this study, integration of Palmaria palmata and Atlantic halibut was established within a land-based recirculating aquaculture facility for one year to evaluate the growth and nutrient uptake characteristics of the seaweed in a commercial application. This study was essential to compare the bioremediation capacity of P. palmata under both lab and small-scale applied conditions...
