In the Morocco's Atlantic coast we have an important biomass of Gigartina acicularis and I want to estimate thier biomass.
Please can you help me to do this job.
Thank you very much in advance

Dear Rezzoum,
Do you want to measure the composition of biomass.

Ramesh
Dear Ramesh
Thank you for the reply. I want to make an estimation of biomass and of course the composition of biomass too.

Respected sir,
For the estimation of seaweed biomass the method of Baardseth (1955) can be utilized.
In addition u can use the quadrate method.
For estimation of biomass, quadrant method is reliable and convenient in the intertidal rocky surfaces.Depending upon the abundance of algae, use the size of the quadrant (25X25 CM or 50x50 CM ). If you want to estimate the biomass of only Gigartina acicularis, then use 25X25CM quadrant and again it subdivide into 5x5 CM blocks. Now you can collect the biomass of only above said sps from each block , after drying the material, measure the weight of the material.
Dear Geddada
Thank you very much for you valuable reply.
