Seasonal Variations in Production of Cultured Seaweed Gracilaria Edulis (Gmelin) Silva in Minicoy Lagoon (Lakshadweep)

Abstract: 

With a view to finding out the feasibility of Lakshadweep lagoons for cultivation of Gracilaria edulis in Minicoy experimental culture has been undetaken at four sites. Very encouraging results indicating high potential of about 8.1 fold increase for this species in the lagoon evironments of Minicoy was obtained. Seasonal variations in the growth of the culture seaweed is high-lighted in this account indicating favourable seasons and potential sites.
