Cultivation of the red seaweed Kappaphycus alvarezii with effluents from shrimp cultivation and brown seaweed extract: Effects on growth and secondary metabolism

The growth and metabolic profile of the red seaweed Kappaphycus alvarezii were evaluated after in vitro cultivation with effluents from Pacific shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei farming in bioflocs system (BFT) and commercial extract of the brown seaweed Ascophyllum nodosum (AMPEP). Seaweeds were cultivated for 35 days in sterilized seawater enriched with 50% von Stosch solution (VS – v/v), 25% BFT effluent (BFT – v/v), or pulse-fed AMPEP (at 0.1 g L−...
