Master Thesis StudentIpma Instituto Português Do Mar E Da Atmosfera Sep 2018 - Jul 2019Faro E Região, PortugalThe effect of nutrient concentration in the levels of bioactive compounds in Ulva spp. (Performed within IPMA Algés, Lisbon, and Aquaculture Research Centre, Olhão, Faro)This study aims to provide a relation between the aquaculture conditions for Ulva spp. and the seasonality of the bioactive compounds present in the macroalgae. To enable this study, two different nutrient sources are being use to compare the influence of the nutrient concentration in the growth and bioactive profile. Also two different production systems (floating cages and fibre glass raceway tanks) are being used to compare the influence of the level of production intensity (enriched semi-intensive vs enriched enxtensive vs natural extensive). Samples will be collected to estimate growth, fresh weight/dry weight ratio, and antioxidant , anti-inflammatory, and proximal composition -
