Abstract
Deep seawater (DSW; seawater under the euphotic layer), obtained from Deep Seawater Laboratory in Muroto, Japan, was applied to the culture of Dunaliella tertiolecta, D. salina, Nannochloropsis oculata, N. sali na, Porphyridium cruentum, Tetraselmis tetrahele, and Chaetoceros cera tosporum. DSW supported the exponential growth of every species. The g rowth yields were at 14.7 (+/-2.3 SD) mg dry weight per liter, and cou ld be heightened by the addition of nitrate to DSW.
