Enhanced production of Pacific dulse (Palmaria mollis) for co-culture with abalone in a land-based system: nitrogen, phosphorus, and trace metal nutrition

摘要

Pacific dulse (Palmaria mollis) is a high-quality algal feed for both red abalone (Haliotis rufescens) and Japanese abalone (Haliotis discus hannai); however, culture techniques capable of producing commercial quantities of R mollis are still in development. This study was undertaken to improve our understanding of nutrient requirements and management strategies for P mollis production in intensive, land-based systems.
