“…The biomass production of G. chilensis was also increased at elevated CO 2 levels or high nutrient concentrations (Buschmann et al 1994). The increase of harvest can be used as agar materials, seafood, and feed for abalone (Tseng 2001;Fei 2004;Yang et al 2015). Yang et al (2015) have suggested that large-scale cultivation of Gracilaria can improve water quality by uptake of excessive nutrients and potential carbon sink absorber along the coast of China.…”

“…In China, this alga is cultivated on a large scale because it is an economically important source of agar (Fei 2004;Wang et al 2010). Furthermore, this species has been studied as a valuable component of Integrated Multi-Trophic Aquaculture and as a bioremediation agent (Yang et al 2006(Yang et al , 2015Wu et al 2015).…”

“…Gracilariopsis lemaneiformis (Bory de Saint-Vincent) E.Y.Dawson, Acleto & Foldvik (Gracilariales, Rhodophyta, formerly Gracilaria lemaneiformis) is distributed in tropical and warm-temperate regions, and is cultivated worldwide, especially in Chile, China, and Taiwan (Armisen 1995;Tseng 2001;Yang et al 2015). In China, this alga is cultivated on a large scale because it is an economically important source of agar (Fei 2004;Wang et al 2010).…”

Ocean acidification (OA) and coastal eutrophication affect coastal marine organisms. We studied the physiological responses of Gracilariopsis lemaneiformis (Gracilariales, Rhodophyta) to increased concentrations of CO 2 and NH 4 + . Incubation treatments were applied at two different pH units (low, 7.5; high (control), 7.9) and three different NH 4 + concentrations (low, 10; medium, 50; high, 100 μM). Growth, rates of photosynthetic oxygen evolution, and NH 4 + uptake rates were affected by both elevated CO 2 and NH 4 + conditions. The changes in the pH of culture media were influenced by elevated CO 2 or NH 4 + treatments. However, chlorophyll fluorescence was affected only by the level of NH 4 + . These results indicate that the physiological responses of G. lemaneiformis might be enhanced when the concentrations of CO 2 and NH 4 + rise. Therefore, cultures of this alga could provide a good mitigation solution against ongoing problems with OA and coastal eutrophication.

“…The success of such activity highly depends on the supporting environmental factors. Main factors capable of influencing the success of seaweed culture are among others nutrient, clarity, water movement, salinity, depth and the presence of grazer (De San, 2012;Redmond, Green, Yarish, Kim & Neefus, 2014;Yang et al, 2015;Bharathiraja et al, 2015).…”

Seaweed is a promising fishery product. Potential aquaculture of which in Lampung Province is estimated around 2260.5 ha. Several seaweed farming efforts have been carried out in Lampung Bay (Indonesia). However, they faced failure. Therefore, it is necessary to carry out spatial analysis to understand the level of seaweed farming suitability in the bay. This study was carried out in five observation site groups with total 20 sampling points and employed survey through spatial and temporal approaches as the study method. Geo-statistical model was used for earth surface mapping, both for biotic and abiotic components. Each station was then be given value to determine suitability class. The class was determined by making aquatic suitability matrix for each physical, chemical and biological parameter. Results acquired indicate that Lampung Bay area is not suitable as seaweed farming site. However the area is open for any suggestion.
