Knowledge of the chemical composition of marine macroalgae is important to understand their nutritional value for abalone as well as their potential as a source of protein, carbohydrate and lipid for commercial use. This study investigates the seasonal variations in chemical composition and nutritive value of Ecklonia maxima collected from various kelp beds near commercial abalone farms on both the west and south west coasts of South Africa. It has been suggested by numerous abalone farmers that west coast kelp is not as good as the south west coast for abalone feed. 2014-08-13T19:54:58Z 2014-08-13T19:54:58Z 2007 Master Thesis Masters MSc http://hdl.handle.net/11427/6505 eng application/pdf Department of Oceanography Faculty of Science University of Cape Town |
