Abstract
The economically important agarophyte Gelidium pristoides was cultivated at different depths in the ocean in Algoa Bay between March and June 1991. The seaweed was either tied to ropes (whole tufts on limpet shells) or sewn into net bags (plucked fronds only) supported on metal frames. All experiments were run for between 5 and 8 weeks. Growth, agar content and, in one experiment, agar gel strength was measured weekly or fortnightly.
