Two species of macroscopic marine algae (Rhodophyceae) were grown and harvested continuously during 1974 in Fort Pierce, Florida. The seaweeds Gracilaria sp. and Hypnea musciformis were grown in both 600-l and 350-l tanks in the third stage of a nutrient removalaquaculture process that included microscopic marine algae and oysters in the first two stages. Mixtures of secondary-treated waste water and sea water constituted the initial nutrient source, with the seaweeds utilizing nutrients not assimilated by the microscopic algae and/or generated by the oysters. Standing crops of up to 7 900 g wet weight of Hypnea and 9 000 g Gracilaria were maintained.
