Abstract:Sargassum swartzii is economically exploited in India for alginate production. Indiscriminate harvesting of S. swartzii in natural beds leads to fast depletion. For sustainable utilization of this alga, it is inevitable to undertake its mass cultivation. Therefore, investigations were undertaken to develop a technology that can boost cultivation of this important species. An attempt was made to optimize the culture conditions for developing zygote-derived germlings for artificial seed production through vegeta… Show more
