Offshore macroalgae production could provide an alternative source of biomass for food, materials and energy. However, the offshore environment in general, and specifically the Eastern Mediterranean Sea (EMS) offshore, is a high energy and low nutrients environment and thus is challenging for macroalgae farming. This study aims to understand the effects of season, depth, and fertilization duration on growth rates and chemical composition in offshore Ulva biomass production and develop a predictive model suitable to offshore conditions. We hypothesize that offshore Ulva growth rates and chemical composition will follow a seasonal trend and that applying rapid onshore fertilization could refill nutrient storages and enable continuous offshore cultivation. We test this hypothesis by measuring Ulva biomass and internal nitrogen in offshore experiments in the nitrogen-poor EMS a few kilometers offshore the Israeli coast. We construct a predictive cultivation model to estimate N concentrations in the sea during experiments. This study demonstrates the feasibility of growing Ulva sp. offshore the EMS with an onshore nutrient supply and develops a better understanding of seasonal growth dynamics and environmental effects (nitrogen, waves, depth, etc.). Furthermore, the study showcases the applicability of the macroalgae cultivation model in the offshore environment and its potential contribution throughout the whole lifecycle of seaweed cultivation.
