Abstract: The effect of photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) and temperature on photosynthesis of the cultivated red alga, Pyropia yezoensis f. narawaensis (Saga-#5 Strain, Bangiales), was determined for microscopic sporophytes and macroscopic gametophytes with pulse-amplitude fluorometry and dissolved oxygen sensors. A clear difference in the temperature response of the maximum quantum yield (Fv/Fm) and oxygenic gross photosynthesis (GP) was revealed between the two life-history stages. The sporophyte Fv/Fm was not sensitive to temperature, although the model revealed an Fv/Fm maximum (0.60) at 16.7°C. In contrast, the gametophyte Fv/Fm was clearly sensitive to temperature and attained a maximum mean value of 0.55 at 14.7°C. The relationship between GP and temperature was also different. The maximum rates of GP of the sporophyte occurred at 30.7°C and was 17.1 μg O2 mgchl-a−1 min−1 (15.4–19.4, 95% Bayesian credible interval); however, maximum rates of GP for the gametophyte were much higher (110 μmol O2 mgchl-a−1 min−1) and occurred at a lower temperature (14.4°C). The response of oxygenic net photosynthesis to PAR also varied, and the initial slope (α), the saturation PAR (Ek) and the maximum photosynthetic rate (Pmax) of the gametophyte were much higher than the sporophyte. Therefore, we hypothesised that in species with a heteromorphic life history, such as those in the genus Pyropia, physiological responses to environmental gradients would be dissimilar.
