The effects of three seaweeds L. japonica, G. lemaneiformis, S. pallidum
on abalone were evaluated. The abalone were fed one of five
experimental diets consisting of: 1) L. japonica, 2) G. lemaneiformis, 3)
S. pallidum, 4) a mixture of L. japonica and G. lemaneiformis, and 5) a
mixture of L. japonica and S. pallidum (DL, DG, DS, DL+G, and DL+S,
respectively). The two algae were combined at a ratio of 1:1 in the
mixed diets. All the algae were collected fresh from suspended long
lines.
