In present study, the effect of various factors including the solvent concentration, extraction time, extraction temperature and the ratio of sample vs extraction solvent(w/v) upon the extractability of the NaOH soluble proteins of marine algae were investigated. Seven species of sun-dried algae, the major ones in consumption as food, namely Porphyra suborbiculata, Undaria pinnatifida(natural and cultivated), Sargassum fulvellum, Sargassum kjellmanianum, Ulva pertusa, Enteromorpha linza and Codium coarctatum were used for the extraction of the NaOH soluble protein. The frozen and masceratd samples were prepared by the same mettled described in previous paper(Lee, 1977). In case of the TCA insoluble protein, all samples reached maxima at 0.025M NaOH solution while the 0.05M for extractable total nitrogen. Variation of the ratio of sample vs solvent gave slight effect upon the extractability, 100 ml solvent added to 1 g dried sample was effective. The effect of extraction time on the extractability differed from species. The extractabilty of Enteromorpha linza, Ulva pertusa and Codium coarctatum reached maxima within 1 hour extraction and 2 hours for the cultivated Undaria pinnatifida while 3 flours for the natural Undaria pinnatifida, Sargassum fulvellum, Sargassum kjellmanianum and Porphyra suborbiculata. The most effective extraction temperature was $60^{\circ}C$ for all samples.

In order to find effective seed collection method from cultivated Porphyra, benthic diatom elimination, culturing conditions of Conchocelis, liberation of conchospores and treatment of the fronds to obtain monospores have been studied. Elimination of benthic diatoms from Porphyra fronds is successfully performed by careful brushing the fronds in sea water and freshwater alternatively. For the culturing of Conchocelis Schleiber's solution enriched with only soil extracts, vitamins and Fe-EDTA was satisfactory. Growth under 16 hours illumination is 1.29 times faster than those under 10 hours illumination. When the culturing water was airated the growth was $1.41\~l.50$ times faster than the growth in stagnant water. Total amount of conchospores liberated from Conchocelis which has been cultured under airation was much more than those of conchospores under stagnant condition. Effective liberation of monospores was observed in the fronds which have been dried in air for 6 hours $(21.23\~24.19\%\;water\;content)$.

This study was carried out to provide basic data on the anion, element, chromatic and antioxidant activities of commercial dried lavers cultivated from Seocheon, Wando, Goheung and Busan in Korea. The highest concentrations of several anions ($Cl^-$, $NO_3{^-}$, $SO_4{^2-}$, and $PO_4{^3-}$ per 100 g of dried laver) were 412.00 mg in Wando, 545.90 mg in Goheung, 297.35 mg in Seocheon, and 79.70 mg in Wando, respectively. The highest concentrations of N, C, and S were 6.40%, 41.36%, and 0.98%, respectively, in dried laver cultivated from Wando. Hunter's color values were significantly high in the order of Seocheon < Goheung < Busan < Wando for lightness, Wando < Busan < Goheung < Seocheon for redness, and Goheung < Seocheon < Busan < Wando for yellowness in the dried lavers. Total phenolic content and DPPH (1,1-diphenyl-2-picryl-hydrazyl) radical scavenging activities showed highest values of 166.10 mg/100 g and 28.48%, respectively, in dried laver cultivated from Wando.

The purpose of this study was to provide basic date for organic acid, vitamin and free sugar contents of commercial dried lavers cultivated in Korea (Seocheon, Wando, Goheung and Busan). The contents of organic acid per 100 g of dried lavers were in the range of 1,238.67~1,437.00 mg of malic acid, 1,021.67~1,309.67 mg of oxalic acid, 1,035.67~1,247.33 mg of citric acid, 1,001.00~1,146.00 mg of succinic acid, 902.00~1,107.00 mg of tartaric acid, 862.67~1,070.67 mg of lactic acid and 370.33~421.67 mg of acetic acid. The concentration of vitamin A and ${\beta}$-carotene were the highest (0.286 mg and 22.19 mg/100 g) in dried lavers cultivated from Seocheon and Wando. Vitamin $B_1$, $B_3$ and $B_{12}$ concentrations were the highest (9.79 mg, 19.15 mg and 1.77 mg/100 g) in dried lavers cultivated from Goheung, and vitamin $B_2$, $B_6$ and $B_9$ concentrations were the highest (4.55 mg, 2.36 mg and 2.17 mg/100 g) in dried lavers cultivated from Wando. The concentration of vitamin C and E contents were the highest (219.33 mg and 1.75 mg/100 g) in dried lavers cultivated from Wando. The contents of free sugar per 100 g of dried lavers were in the range of 214.27~347.72 mg of galactose, 59.10~71.69 mg of glucose, 37.86~54.34 mg of fucose and 6.26~14.65 mg of mannose.

This study was conducted to provide basic date on the proximate composition and amino acid, fatty acid, sugar, and mineral contents of commercial dried lavers cultivated in Korea (in Seocheon, Wando, Goheung and Busan). The moisture, crude ash, crude fat, crude protein, and carbohydrate content ranges of the dried lavers were 5.67~7.43%, 8.01~8.95%, 1.54~2.25%, 37.77~39.98%, and 43.83~46.24%, respectively. The total amino acid, free amino acid, and essential amino acid concentrations were highest (25,982.15 mg/100 g, 4,545.44 mg/100 g, and 9,048.28 mg/100 g) in the dried lavers cultivated from Wando. The compositions of the fatty acids in four dried lavers were 16.30~22.15% saturated fatty acids, 6.04~7.73% monounsaturated fatty acids, and 70.33~76.03% polyunsaturated fatty acids. The sugar contents per 100 g of dried lavers were 3,678.84~4,052.52 mg of galactose, 2,112.30~2,473.86 mg of fructose, 1,103.74~1,648.39 mg of mannose, 361.67~590.21 mg of glucose, 8.63~10.38 mg of ribose, and 21.43~48.32 mg of xylose. The mineral concentrations in the dried lavers cultivated from Wando and Busan were low (Cu < Mn < Zn < Fe < Ca < Mg < Na < K), as were those in the dried lavers cultivated from Seocheon and Goheung (Cu < Mn < Zn < Fe < Mg < Ca < Na < K).

Aquaculture is one of the fastest growing food producing sectors; however, intensive farming techniques of finfish have raised environmental concerns, especially through the release of excessive nutrients into surrounding waters. Biodiversity has been widely shown to enhance ecosystem functions and services, but there has been limited testing or application of this key ecological relationship in aquaculture. This study tested the applicability of the biodiversity-function relationship to integrated multi-trophic aquaculture (IMTA), asking whether species richness can enhance the efficiency of macroalgal bioremediation of wastewater from finfish aquaculture. Five macroalgal species (Chondrus crispus, Fucus serratus, Palmaria palmata, Porphyra dioica, and Ulva sp.) were cultivated in mono- and polyculture in water originating from a lumpfish (Cyclopterus lumpus) hatchery. Total seaweed biomass production, specific growth rates (SGR), and the removal of ammonium (NH₄⁺), total oxidised nitrogen (TON), and phosphate (PO₄^3-) from the wastewater were measured. Species richness increased total seaweed biomass production by 11% above the average component monoculture, driven by an increase in up to 5% in SGR of fast-growing macroalgal species in polycultures. Macroalgal species richness further enhanced ammonium uptake by 25%, and TON uptake by nearly 10%. Phosphate uptake was not improved by increased species richness. The increased uptake of NH₄⁺ and TON with increased macroalgal species richness suggests the complementary use of different nitrogen forms (NH₄⁺ vs. TON) in macroalgal polycultures. The results demonstrate enhanced bioremediation efficiency by increased macroalgal species richness and show the potential of integrating biodiversity-function research to improve aquaculture sustainability.
