Temperature, salinity and tidal effect during monsoon and nonmonsoonal periods had a profound effect on productivity and quality of preservation.

Red algae comparatively have more fluoride than brown and green algae. Fluoride content in seawater is 1.29-1.33 mg.l^-1. Of the green algae, collected from Porbandar Reef, Gujarat, India, <i>Caulerpa scalpelliformis</i> and <i>Ulva lactuca</i> show an increase and <i>Codium dwarkense</i> a decrease in the fluoride content with increasing age of the plant.

Palmitic acid was found to be the major fatty acid present in these algae.

Dispersant IB 2/80 was most toxic and dispersant IB 11/80 was not lethal at the highest concentration tested. The ranking order of the emulsions (oil dispersant) was almost identical for both the species tested, although there was a significant shift in the range of LC₅₀ values, indicating that one species is less sensitive than the other. Oil dispersant mixtures were less toxic than the dispersants alone. Page(s): 42-44 1984-03-01T00:00:00Z
