Abstract
The effect of salinity additions on the growth of freshwater algae was studied in the laboratory utilizing batch bioassays. These batch bioassays were used to screen variations of ten salts in single addition and the concentration effects of the salts on the productivity of standard test alga and an indigenous diatom from Lake Powell. The indigenous algal genus was found to be more tolerant to salinity addition than the standard test alga. The batch bottle bioassays were conducted following the standard algal assay procedure as closely as possible. Variations in the standard algal assay procedure included media variation with the use of the indigenous alga for test inoculum in the bioassay procedure.
