Seasonal variation in the biochemical composition of Arctic macroalgae: Effect of warming and photoperiod
The effect of temperature and photoperiod along the year on the composition of 5 macroalgal species representative of the sublittoral system of Kongsfjorden was studied in laboratory conditions. These species were the ochrophytes Saccharina latissima and Alaria esculenta, the rhodophytes Phycodrys r...
