Feasibility of seaweed culture in Inani and Bakkhali coast of Cox’s Bazar, Bangladesh
The study was analyzed physico-chemical parameters of seaweed culture sites and culture feasibility for a seaweed (Hypnea sp.) in Bakkhali and Inani of Cox‟s Bazar coast, Bangladesh. The results obtained by the water salinity, temperature, transparency, pH and DO are very much suitable for seaweed cultivation. The water and soil nutrients of Saint Martin and Bakkhali were also comparable, indicated the suitability of seaweed culture. Seaweed Hypnea sp. was cultured in Bakkhali and Inani along with Saint Martin using 4m x 4m coir rope net attached to bamboo pole for a period of two months in winter. Maximum daily growth rate of 3.21±0.01%/day at 60th day from Saint Martin and minimum daily growth rate of 0.41±0.11%/day at 15th day from Inani was observed. Significantly higher biomass of seaweeds (11.05±0.10 kg fresh wt./m2) yielded in Saint Martin than Bakkhali (p<0.001) and Inani (p<0.001). Bakkhali and Inani could be suitable areas of seaweed culture added a new dimension to mariculture prospect of Bangladesh.
