Culture of Thallasia hemprichii in different
salinity (15ppt and 25ppt)
Objective
Introduction

Measurement
Result
Conclusion
To measure the growth rate (leaf length and leaf
sheath) of the Thallasia hemprichii
To access the effective salinity for seagrass
culture

Generally, T. hemprichii was culture to study the
bacteria growth and trace metal.

The research was done by Christianen et al.
(2011) where T. hemprichii was culture in climate-
controlled room in 100L glass container using
Classic synthetic sea salt.
