摘要：

A vegetative clone of Ulva lactuca L. was selected for mass culture and nutrient uptake experiments with fish pond wastewater. Growth rates of over 55 g dry wt. d-1 per 600 1 (1 m2) tank were obtained. Growth rate was linked to stocking density, tank flushing rates and aeration induced thallus movement. The plants could not survive on the macronutrients provided by a weekly pulse of wastewater. A continuous supply of fish pond wastewater was required to maintain good growth rates. An 'uncoupling' of growth rate and thallus nitrogen content was observed. The plants were able to store nitrogen from a pulsed ammonium supply and allot the nitrogen reserves to new tissue growth. Plants with slower growth rates or a continuous supply of ammonium had higher thallus nitrogen content. Ulva efficiently removed up to 85% of the ammonium from fish pond wastewater in darkness or light independently of temperature fluctuations.
