Abstract

. Seedlings of Laminaria groenlandica Rosenvinge. L. saccharina (L.) Lamour. and Cymathere triplicata (Post. & Rupr.) J. Ag. were produced directly from mixed gametophytes and indirectly from cloned gametophytes. When cultivated in the sea, these seedlings produced up to 8 wet kg.m−1 of cultivation rope for L. saccharina, 20 wet kg.m−1 for L. groenlandica and 2·7 wet kg.m−1 for C. triplicata. These values are similar to those reported from other parts of the world. Plant sizes for cultivated L. groenlandica and C. triplicata were greater than observed in wild stands Production by L. groenlandica was positively correlated with nutrient concentrations and negatively correlated with temperature. The time required to achieve harvestable size may he reduced from 16 to 9 months by employing seedlings produced indirectly from cloned gametophytes.
