Research
experience
In
the research frame of Eco-physiology of seaweeds I studied the
following major subjects: pond cultivation technology of Gracilaria,
Ulva and Porphyra; interaction between Gracilaria
growth conditions and agar yield and quality; interactions between Gracilaria
and pathogenic bacteria; interactions between Gracilaria and
epiphytes; effect of water velocity and algal morphology on growth
parameters of Gracilaria; ecology and biology of Porphyra
linearis and Gelidium crinale; Adhesive proteins from Caulerpa
prolifera.
