Abstract

Cultivation of the red agar-producing algaGracilaria verrucosa (Huds.) Papenf. on suspended ropes produced significant changes in water motion and irradiance in near-bottom waters. However, no significant changes were found in a wild bed ofZostera japonica Arch. et Iraebn in the initial period of cultivation ofGracilaria. There was only a reduction in the growth rate ofZ. japonica and increase in the abundance and diversity of invertebrates in the community located below the ropes with cultivatedGracilaria.
