Chasing Light: How Dichromatic LEDs Affect the Elemental Profile of Gongolaria barbata
Journal: Çanakkale Onsekiz Mart University Journal of Marine Sciences and Fisheries
Year: 2023

This study aims to investigate the influence of three different dichromatic LED light sources and varying photoperiod durations on the mineral content and trace element compositions in cultivated Gongolaria barbata under controlled culture conditions. During the experiment, red-blue (RB), blue-green (BG), red-green (RG) and fluorescent lights were examined at 16:16, 12:12, and 8:16 Light: Dark (L:D) photoperiods, and at 150 μmol photon m-2 s-1 intensity of light in all treatments. The elemental
