Topic: Gracilaria


  
  Species Name
Gracilaria tikvahiae occurs from cold temperate regions along the eastern Atlantic coast from Nova Scotia to warm subtropical regions around the east and west coasts of Florida and into the Caribbean.
Gracilaria tikvahiae is highly plastic in its responses to changing salinity and temperature (Dawes 1994).
Gracilaria tikvahiae tolerates hypoxia relatively well, and tends to reduce its level of cellular respiration in order to offset poor environmental conditions.

 Gracilaria Longline Cultivation
Our proposed biotechnology is based mainly on the cultivation of macroalga Gracilaria verrucosa, which is naturally occurring in this basin, and the mussels Mytilus galloprovincialis, which has been for a long time cultivated in that area.
While there exists extensive scientific and technical information on the culture of mussels in Mar Piccolo, such is not the case for Gracilaria verrucosa, which had not been attempted before.
In this report, we discuss and evaluate the possibility of applying an integrated aquaculture system based on suspended cultivation of Gracilaria verrucosa and long-line rearing of the mussel Mytilus galloprovincialis in the Mar Piccolo of Taranto; we present and discuss our very promising preliminary result for Gracilaria verrucosa cultivation in the Mar Piccolo Second Inlet.
