Sargassum bed restoration by transplantation of germlings grown under protective mesh cage
Tóm tắt
Studies on the construction of artificial seaweed beds were carried out for the restoration of barren grounds that extend along the coast of Jeju Island in Korea. Fertilized eggs of Sargassum fulvellum and Sargassum horneri were induced from receptacles of mature plants and adhered to concrete block substrata. When the germlings that settled on the artificial substrata had grown to 3–5 mm in indoor cultures, they were moved to the ocean for intermediate cultivation, where they were cultivated under seed-cultivating nets to prevent damage from grazing animals. After the germlings had grown to 25–50 cm, the artificial substrata with settled germlings were taken out from the protective cage and transplanted on the barren grounds along the coast of Jeju Island. In the early stage of transplanting, the Sargassum thalli were partially eaten by grazing animals. Two months post-transplantation, the plants grew quickly, and their stems were harder and free from grazing damage. Most of the Sargassum had grown to over 300 cm by 6 months after transplantation on the barren grounds, and they were forming a marine forest community at the transplant sites.
