How much growth will be produced by sugar kelp and alaria kept in a 30 gallon man made saltwater tank, that is kept at around 50 degrees Fahrenheit and is daily checked for pH and salinity levels? How will this growth compare to growth of sugar kelp and Alaria in the Damariscotta River Estuary? Which sample will grow larger in between November and April? This is important because it provides food and is a growing aquaculture industry in Maine.
