The marcoalga Ulva pertusa was cultured under 30±3,30±6,30±9,30±12 and 30±15 circadian rhythms of fluctuating salinity conditions,and a constant salinity of 30 was used as the control.The growth rates of macroalga under fluctuating salinity conditions were significantly lower than that at the constant salinity of 30,while the RGR of U.pertusa under different fluctuating salinity conditions were all kept at least 12%.Analysis of biochemical composition at the final stages of thaulls growth revealed that diel fluctuating salinity caused various influences(P0.05).The contents of chlorophyll a and chlorophyll b under fluctuating salinity conditions were slightly lower than those at constant salinity of 30,however no statistically significant differences were found among them(P0.05).The contents of protein and total solute carbohydrate under fluctuating salinity conditions were significantly higher than those at constant salinity of 30(P0.05),and there was a trend that the content of proline increased with the increase of amplitude of fluctuating salinity,while the content of proline during mild salinity of changes(30±3) was significantly lower than that at constant salinity(P0.05). Therefore,more protein and carbohydrate production might account for the enhancement in the quality of macroalga at the diel flunctuating salinity in the present study.
