Abstract

Palmaria palmata was integrated with Atlantic halibut Hippoglossus hippoglossus on a commercial farm for one year starting in November, with a temperature range of 0.4 to 19.1°C.The seaweed was grown in nine plastic mesh cages (each 1.25 m 3 volume) suspended in a concrete sump tank (46 m 3 ) in each of three recirculating systems.Two tanks received effluent water from tanks stocked with halibut, and the third received ambient seawater serving as a control.Thalli were tumbled by continuous aeration, and held under a constant photoperiod of 16 : 8 (L : D).Palmaria stocking density was 2.95 kg m -3 initially, increasing to 9.85 kg m -3 after a year.Specific growth rate was highest from April to June (8.0to 9.0°C), 1.1% d -1 in the halibut effluent and 0.8% d -1 in the control, but declined to zero or less than zero above 14°C.Total tissue nitrogen of Palmaria in effluent water was 4.2 to 4.4% DW from January to October, whereas tissue N in the control system declined to 3.0-3.6%DW from April to October.Tissue carbon was independent of seawater source at 39.9% DW.Estimated tank space required by Palmaria for 50% removal of the nitrogen excreted by 100 t of halibut during winter is about 29,000 to 38,000 m 2 , ten times the area required for halibut culture.Fifty percent removal of carbon from the same system requires 7,200 to 9,800 m 2 cultivation area.Integration of P. palmata with Atlantic halibut is feasible below 10°C, but is impractical during summer months due to disintegration of thalli associated with reproductive maturation.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Algae can be used to eliminate inorganic nutrients such as phosphorus compounds, nitrogen, carbon dioxide, and other compounds used for their metabolism, thus decreasing negative impacts on the environment.

    “In both aquaculture systems described, algae can be used as a solution to eliminate inorganic nutrients (phosphorus compounds, nitrogen, carbon dioxide, and other compounds used for their metabolism), thus decreasing the negative impacts on the environment [35,36,37,38].”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
