Development is described of seaweed culture
systems in Woods Hole, Massachusetts, and Ft.
Pierce, F1orida, for nutrient removal from domestic
and animal culture wastewater, for commercial value
for their hydrocolloids, and for a biomass source
for conversion to methane or other fuels. Of various
species evaluated, the red alga Gracilaria foliifera
appears the best suited for all three purposes
because of its ability to be grown vegetatively and
essentially trouble-free over long periods of time
and because of its high dry-weight yields of 26 m
tons/ha over a 165 day growing season in woods Hole
and 112m tons/ha on a year-round basis in Florida. Florida Atlantic University.
