Abstract: 

Large-scale Gracilaria cultivation can be an effective means of improving water quality and promoting a more sustainable mariculture industry in China. In tests, the seaweed Gracilaria lemaneiformis provided several beneficial functions. It was very effective in decreasing nitrogen and phosphorus loadings. The seaweed was also able to inhibit the growth of some microalgae and may increase dissolved oxygen in the water column.
