- The genus Ulva is globally distributed and has been thoroughly studied because of its functional biochemical composition, rapid growth rates and opportunistic features, and interest in Ulva cultivation is growing worldwide. In Europe, mostly near- and on-shore flow-through cultivation systems are used, and land-based recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS) using fresh water or artificial seawater have not been developed for Ulva. While RAS provides quality control and can be located inland, maintenance costs are high. Using selected strains adapted to low-salinity could reduce seawater production costs and improve the economic feasibility. Therefore, our study assessed how salinity can be used as a tool for strain selection and optimization of functional traits. Growth rates and antioxidant activity of three species (four strains) of tubular and foliose Ulva from the NE-Atlantic and Mediterranean (foliose: Ulva lacinulata – two geographical strains, tubular: Ulva linza and Ulva flexuosa) were followed for three weeks at salinities ranging from 10 to 30 PSU. The tubular strains achieved optimal growth at a lower salinity than U. lacinulata. However, growth rates of both foliose strains were higher than of tubular strains, even at sub-optimal salinity. Therefore, U. lacinulata is a good candidate for RAS with artificial seawater, and the cost of salt can be reduced by up to 33.3% (20 PSU) without significantly reducing the growth rate of U. lacinulata. Higher antioxidant activity was achieved by reducing the salinity to 10 PSU for 10 days, suggesting that the functional traits of cultivated Ulva lacinulata can be optimized prior to harvest.
