Various experimental procedures to monitor responses of the red seaweed, Gelidiella acerosa, a source of high quality agar, were conducted. The project aimed to determine the optimum conditions for the culture of the species, specifically to determine: 1) the regenerative capacity of the various branch cuttings; 2) the frequency and duration of nutrient pulse-feeding applications for optimum growth of cuttings; 3) effects of combination of ecological factors - temperature, salinity, light and water movement to growth of cuttings; and 4) the photosynthetic and respiratory responses of the cuttings to variations in salinity and temperature
