| Summary: | Culture of Gracilaria was carried out in two 0.25 ha earthen ponds from October 2000 to September2001. Data were acquired for 4 seasons. Culture system was fixed bottom line method. We could culture 500 grams of Gracilaria on each line in about 9 weeks. The seaweed reached a maximum growth in 6 to 7 weeks with its biomass being 2.3 times of the initialbiomass in Autumn, 2.6 times in Winter, 2.7 times in Spring and 2.4 times in Summer.
