Effect of temperature and irradiance on the growth and reproduction of the green macroalga, Chaetomorpha valida (Cladophoraceae, Chlorophyta)
Tóm tắt
“Green tides” are vast accumulations of unattached green macroalgae associated with eutrophicated marine environments. It had major ecological and economic impacts globally, thus understanding of their detailed conditions was required to inform management decisions. Chaetomorpha valida (Cladophoraceae, Chlorophyta), as a fouling green alga, was found in aquaculture ponds along the coast of Dalian and Rongcheng cities, People’s Republic of China in the past few years. Seasonal abundances of this macroalga in China have presented a significant nuisance and caused great loss to the local aquaculture. Using unialgal cultures, the effect of temperature and irradiance on growth and reproduction were investigated. Healthy growth and reproduction occurred in the range of 17–29°C while the upper lethal limit was at 33°C. A suitable temperature range over 21–29°C and a relatively high irradiance of 108 μmol photons m−2 s−1 were more favorable for growth and reproduction. According to our observations, the diversity of reproductive approaches and wide adaption to temperature can be considered to be key factors that facilitate its excessive growth and colonization in spring and summer. Our results provide a basis for establishing a forecast system and taking remediation measures against seasonal green tides of this macroalga.
