Abstract
Gracilaria is a genus of red algae (Rhodophyta) which is an important raw
material for agar industry and some other industries. Demand on the Gracilaria is
high, but the wild stock became lesser due to over harvest. To culture this species on
a commercial scale, environmental parameters that effect its growth must be well
understood. In this study, the effect of salinity, light intensity and quality,
photoperiod, and nutrient content on the growth, pigment content (chlorophyll a.
phycoervthrin, phycocyanin) of G.manilaensis were carried out.
