Shan, T., Pang, S. & Gao, S. Periodic exposure to ambient solar irradiance benefits the growth of juvenile seedlings of Hizikia fusiformis, ., Chin. J. Ocean. Limnol. 29, 1009–1014 (2011). https://doi.org/10.1007/s00343-011-0195-3
In our trials
from 2007 to 2008
of mass production of seedlings of Hizikia fusiformis using synchronization techniques
problems of a “dark thalli” phenomenon and epiphytes contamination severely threatened the health of juvenile seedlings. In this investigation
we optimized conditions for improving the growth of juvenile seedlings. Seven string collectors were seeded with zygotes and a series of experiments were conducted including direct exposure to solar irradiance
co-culture with Ulva spp. and treatment with sodium hypochlorite. It was found that direct exposure to solar irradiance (maximum: 1 740 μmol photons/(m2·s)) for 2 h per day could efficiently enhance the growth of young seedlings and simultaneously inhibit the growth of epiphytic algae. In this treatment
50-day old seedlings could reach an average of 0.44 cm in length and possess up to nine leaflets. However
a single treatment with 18-mmol/L sodium hypochlorite for 10 min severely harmed 15-day old seedlings. In comparison
weekly treatment with 2.2-mmol/L sodium hypochlorite for 10 min brought no apparent harm to seedlings and eliminated epiphytic algae efficiently. However
this treatment significantly increased the detachment rate of seedlings. Inoculating Ulva spp. onto the collector caused a dramatic decrease in the number of seedlings. However
the growth of the remaining seedlings appeared unhampered. All collectors except the control were daily sprayed with a high pressure water jet from the 8th day post fertilization. From the first day to 50th day
no “dark thallus” was observed on any of the seven collectors. We believe that well-timed daily exposure to solar irradiance would favor H. fusiformis in its early growing stages.
