GROWTH PERFORMANCE AND CARRAGEENAN YIELD OF KAPPAPHYCUS ALVAREZII (DOTY) AND EUCHEUMA DENTICULATUM (BURMAN) COLLINS ET HARVEY, FARMED IN BAIS BAY, NEGROS ORIENTAL AND OLINGAN, DIPOLOG CITY
Keywords:
carrageenan content, Eucheuma denticulatum, Kappaphycus alvarezii, carrageenan yield, growth performanceAbstract
This study aims to determine the growth performance and carrageenan contents of the different strains of Eucheuma and Kappaphycus cultured at different depths. Thirty 50-g seedlings of each of the brown and green cultivars of Eucheuma denticulatum (Collins & Harvey) and Kappaphycus alvarezii (Doty) were cultured at different depths. Growth rates and carrageenan contents varied between species, strains and depth. The brown variety of K. alvarezii cultured near the water surface
showed a significantly higher mean growth rate and carrageenan content. Generally, plants with higher growth rates have higher carrageenan yield.
