Abstract

Fourteen species of the commoner marine algae of Nova Scotia have been analyzed for their content of water, nitrogen, ash, calcium, phosphorus, and iron. These algae are remarkable for their consistently high ash content. The minimum value was 12.3% in Ahnfeltia plicata and the maximum 45.4% in Enteromorpha intestinalis. The average content was 24.9%. Differences in composition have been observed between the green, red, and brown classes or algae.
