Chlorophyll a fluorescence is increasingly being used as a rapid, non-invasive, sensitive
and convenient indicator of photosynthetic performance in marine autotrophs. This review …

Community assemblages of diatoms, green algae and cyanobacteria comprise the
microphytobenthos (MPB), which inhabit benthic sediment ecosystems (Admiraal 1984; …

Integrated Multi-Trophic Aquaculture (IMTA) systems are designed to mitigate the
environmental problems caused by several forms of fed aquaculture. Gracilaria chilensis is …

Seagrasses and macroalgae (seaweeds) are important primary producers and habitats in
estuarine and marine intertidal and shallow benthic areas. Unlike terrestrial plants, aquatic …

We have studied the effects of nitrate supply under photosynthetic active radiation (PAR)
plus ultraviolet radiation (UVR) exposure on photosynthetic pigments (chlorophyll a and …

One of the major uses of active chlorophyll fluorescence in aquatic studies has been to
examine primary productivity free from constraints associated with 'conventional'gas …

Seaweeds, as biofilters that remediate seawater eutrophication, have been widely applied in
integrated cultivations for both ecological and economic benefits. Although Grateloupia …

Eutrophication is a leading problem in water bodies all around the world in which nitrate is
one of the major contributors. The present study was conducted to study the effects of …

The frequency of marine heatwaves (MHWs) is increasing due to climate change. Although
seaweeds are resilient to environmental changes, an increasing body of evidence shows …

Seaweeds growing in the intertidal zone are exposed to fluctuating nitrate and ultraviolet
radiation (UVR) levels. While it has been shown that elevated UVR levels and the decrease …
