    Notes: Abstract The ecological effects of harvesting were investigated for two species, the giant kelp Macrocystis pyrifera and Eucheuma uncinatum, by using harvest records and aerial surveys that show yield changes and by using studies of recruitment, survivorship and community interactions. There were no ecological effects found for M. pyrifera harvested with contemporary methods, and there are no recommendations for changing current management practices for this species. It is recommended that E. uncinatum, which on occasion produces commercially significant standing crops, not be harvested unless special precautions are taken to leave some plants for regeneration of the harvested populations.

    Notes: Abstract Eucheuma uncinatum (Setch. & Gard.) Daw. from the Gulf of California was cultured in 1001 tanks in outdoor conditions. The cultures consisted of a 3 × 3 factorial design of 10, 19 and 33 % incident light and three different conditions of nutrients during winter (0; 20 µM N03; and 20:2 µM NO3:PO4) and summer (0; 40:4; and 80:8 µM of NO3:PO4). Best growth and carrageenan yield conditions were determined under each experiment. Carrageenan extracts were analyzed for total carbohydrates, 3,6-anhydrogalactose anhydrogalactose and sulphates. Higher carrageenan yields were obtained from cultures with fertilized plants under higher light conditions from winter and summer experiments although summer cultures provided the highest yields (48%). During summer a direct relationship between nutrients and sulfate content was observed. This effect was not observed in the winter experiment. An inverse carbohydrate: light relationship was observed in winter but not in summer. Maximum values of 3,6-anhydrogalactose in winter and summer were 23.9% and 18%, respectively. Results indicate that there is the potential to increase yield and quality of Eucheuma uncinatum carrageenan cultured under natural conditions.
