Cultivation Of Eucheuma Cottoni In Various Planting Distance From The River Estuary

This study aimed to know the effect of various distances from the estuary of the river in the cultivation of seaweed Eucheuma cottoni on growth and production. The research was conducted using the method of research used experimental method to completely randomized design CRD. The treatments were tested namely cultivation of seaweed with a distance of 450 station I and 900 m from estuary of the river station II with initial weight of each bond seaweed of 200 g Connective with a repeat 3 times. The data collected is data growth production and water quality. Data were analyzed with descriptive analysis. The results showed the growth and production of seaweed Eucheuma cottoni that tested higher obtained in the treatment of 450 m from the estuary of the river compared with the treatment of 900 m from estuary of the river that is thought to be caused due to water quality and better suited to the needs of seaweed especially salinity and phosphate
