Abstract

In This study Growth rate and biochemical components including carbohydrate, chlorophyll a
and b and carotenoids of microalgae, Tetraselmis chuii, was studied in different concentration
of salinities. Three levels of salinities (10, 27 and 40) with three replicates were used. The
results of the treatments indicated that maximum of growth rate was observed in 10psu
salinity with 2.8×106 ±0.38×105 cell per milliliters and minimum in 40psu with
1.6×106±0.48×105 cell per milliliters (P
