POLA TANAM RUMPUT LAUT KAPPAPHYCUS ALVAREZII DI PULAU NAIN KABUPATEN MINAHASA UTARA
ABSTRACT: Culture pattern
of seaweed Kappaphycus alvarezii like
cultivation calender will improve the quality dan increase productionof
seaweed. This pattern can be arranged
through examining seaweed growth and measuring waters quality. Culture
technique used was long line where seaweed was tied at 100 cm from water
surface. Cultivation cycle was done
twice a year using five frames measuring 3 x 3 x 2 m3 each and located at five
observation stations. Biophysical of
water at each station was measured. Data of biophysic and seaweed growth were
measured every two weeks for three months (from July to October 2013). The present of epiphytes and ice-ice and
seaweed pests was also observed. Research
result found the best season for cultivating seaweed at Nain Island was from
July to early September while the evidence of ice-ice was high from September
to October. Biophysic and water quality
around Nain Island was suitable of the growth of K. Alvarezii.
