Note

Three populations of Sargassum pteropleuron Grunow were transplanted among sites on the Florida east and west coasts and Florida Keys. Significant increases in length and weight occurred at all three sites, with maximum growth rates of 0.08 doublings day−1, and survival of 35–100%. Transplants showed an increase in irradiance-photosynthesis rates with regards to Ic and α when compared to the initial plants if transplanted to sites with higher turbidity, while transplants to clear water sites indicated decreases.
