Abstract
The biochemical contents of Ulva lactuca, Gelidiella acerosa and Sargassum swartzii were studied and were correlated with ecological factors of the marine environment. There is a close relationship between the net primary productivity and protein content in S. swartzii. An inverse relation exists between crude fat and crude fiber content in all 3 algae. Temperature, salinity, pH have no bearing on the different biochemical contents of the algae. Water deficiency due to more exposure and consequent increased light in S. swartzii and G. acerosa enhances fat formation.
