Сultivation of marine algae: methods and problems
In the present review, an attempt is made to show the current state-of-the-art in algal mariculture of the World. Methodical approaches and main ways of cultivation of marine macroalgae are described. Problems in algal cultivation by different methods (ways) are analyzed. One of the main problems is a negative influence of mass monoculture of macroalgae on natural biocenoses. On the basis of literature and own data, solutions to the most topical problems connected with mariculture of macroalgae are suggested. The advantages of rational exploitation of natural monodominant communities of useful macroalgae (in comparison with their mass mariculture) are shown. Models and last achievements in integrated mariculture of algae, fish, crustaceous, and mollusks are analyzed in detail.
