Abstract

The amphipod Sunamphitoe namhaensis grazes on seedlings of Sargassum horneri in culture. To exterminate S. namhaensis, we immersed them in seawater with dissolved carbon dioxide—a treatment used previously to remove copepods in cultures of abalone and sea cucumber. Experiments were conducted under different CO2 (aq) concentrations and for different lengths of time. Amphipod mortality was 100% following immersion in CO2 seawater with a CO2 (aq) concentration of 26,262 µmol/kg (pH 5.0) for 60 min. When algal seedlings were immersed in CO2 seawater under these same conditions, their survival rate and growth were not affected.
