摘要

Abstract

Gracilaria asiatica

being highly efficient in nutrient absorption

is cultivated in sea cucumber ponds to remove nutrients such as nitrogen and phosphate. It was cultured in a laboratory simulating field conditions

and its nutrient absorption was measured to evaluate effects of environmental conditions. Ammonia nitrogen (AN)

nitrate nitrogen (NN)

total inorganic nitrogen (TIN)

and soluble reactive phosphorus (SRP) uptake rate and removal efficiency were determined in a 4×2 factorial design experiment in water temperatures (T) at 15°C and 25°C

algae biomass (AB) at 0.5 g/L and 1.0 g/L

total inorganic nitrogen (TIN) at 30 μmol/L and 60 μmol/L

and soluble reactive phosphorus (SRP) at 3 and 6 μmol/L. AB and ambient TIN or SRP levels significantly affected uptake rate and removal efficiency of AN

TIN

and SRP ( P< 0.001). G. asiatica in AB of 0.5 g/L showed higher uptake rate and lower removal efficiency relative to that with AB of 1.0 g/L. Nitrogen and phosphorus uptake rate rose with increasing ambient nutrient concentrations; nutrient removal efficiency decreased at higher environmental nutrient concentrations. The algae preferred to absorb AN to NN. Uptake rates of AN

and SRP were significantly affected by temperature (P < 0.001); uptake rate was higher for the 25°C group than for the 15°C group at the initial experiment stage. Only the removal efficiency of AN and SRP showed a significant difference between the two temperature groups (P< 0.01). The four factors had significant interactive effects on absorption of N and P

implying that G. asiatica has great bioremedial potential in sea cucumber culture ponds.
