Aphanizomenon flos-aquae from Upper Klamath Lake, Oregon
was introduced into culture in a precipitate -free medium developed
by modification of McLachlan's ASM medium. This medium ASMT
No. 8 contained no organic substances other than ethylendiaminetetraacetate
(EDTA) and Trishydroxymethylamino methane (Tris),
and was developed by modifying the concentrations of certain elements,...
The major nutrient requirements of the blue-green alga Anabaena
spiroides Klebahn were investigated. It was hoped that the results would allow the development of a balanced culture medium in
which the alga would exhibit rapid growth and retain typical morphological characteristics.
The alga was isolated from Upper Klamath Lake, Oregon,...
Effects of spray-dried algae, Schizochytrium sp. and Haematococcus pluvialis, on growth and survival of Manila clam, Tapes philippinarum, spat were determined. Results of the present study showed that these two different spray-dried diets supported clam growth when added as supplements to rations of a mixed diet of the live algae...
Experiments were carried out in fall and winter, 1990
and spring and summer, 1991 , to determine growth and
mortality of juvenile Pacific oysters {Crassostrea gigas)
in effluent from cultured coho salmon {Oncorhynchus
kisutch) , and effluent from salmon in which the red
macroalga Palmaria mollis was cultured. Ambient sea...
Palmaria mollis (Pacific dulse) is increasingly being used in land-based marine aquaculture. This work elucidates nutrient, inorganic carbon, light, salinity, and temperature requirements of P. mollis as food for abalone species. Nutrient additions every 5 to 7 days resulted in no significant difference in P. mollis growth compared with daily...
A techno-economic analysis (TEA) was performed to evaluate the technology, cost, and resource use for algal biofuel production based on today’s economics and technology. The basic goal of this study is to develop a model to calculate the mass and energy balances and costs to produce 10 million gal of...
