The possibilities of utilization of seawater enriched with urea as the culture medium for a blue-green alga, Spirulina maxima, were investigated. Pretreatment by precipitation with NaHCO3 and (or) Na2CO3 was found essential to remove the excess amounts of Ca2+ and Mg2+ present in seawater prior to cultivation. A culture medium as good as the synthetic medium reported in the literature for the growth of S. maxima was obtained after treating seawater with NaHCO3 (19.2 g/L) at pH 9.2 and 35 °C for 2 h, filtering to remove precipitates, and enriching with K2HPO4 (0.5 g/L), NaNO3 (3.0 g/L), and FeSO4 (0.01 g/L). The same results were obtained by substituting a small amount (0.2 g/L or less) of either crystalline or polymerized urea for the NaNO3 in the above medium. Growth of S. maxima was inhibited at higher concentration s of urea in the culture medium. The inhibition effect was due to the partial decomposition of urea into ammonia in alkali medium. Tests conducted on the 130-L cultivation open pond also confirmed that the seawater–urea medium supports growth of S. maxima as well as the best known synthetic medium.

Nauplii from freshly collected adults were fed with the diatom Phaeodactylum tricornutum Bohlin and dried liver powder in mass culture tanks. Details of the method of preparation of food, design of the tank, rate of flow of sea-water, and population densities are given. Low but consistent yields (0.02-3.80 per cent.) of settling cyprids were obtained, the total from five consecutive experiments being 3431. At the locality (Menai Straits, Sorth Wales) natural settling of Elminius modestus Darwin took place in the summer months (May-September) with a main peak about June-July. The above experiments were made during winter (December-March) when natural settling was not detected on exposure plates immersed concurrently in the sea amongst adults of this species.
