| Abstract: | A field experiment was carried out at two sites off Yucatan State, Southeast Mexico, in order to determine the feasibility of culturing the red seaweedEucheuma isiforme; this was done during May–September 1989. At both sites ( Uaymitun and Dzilam) the 25 days harvest and 14 algae per line plant density growth rates (2.21% day–1 and 1.21% day–1, respectively) were significantly higher (p<0.05) than those obtained with other combinations of the two factors tested (50, 75, 100 and 125 days harvest and 9 and 14 algae per line plant density). The mean carrageenan content of the cultured algae was 35.8% and 31.4% at Uaymitun and Dzilam, respectively. |
