Note(s): Studies were continued during 1977-78 on the growth and yields in culture of the red seaweed Gracilaria tikvahiae. Partial control of epiphytes was achieved by nutrient removal, shading, and/or biological agents. For the first time, a single clone of the alga was grown continuously throughout the year without replacement. Yields in large (2600 liter) aluminum tanks averaged 21.4 g dry wt/m².day, equivalent to 31 tons/acre.year.
