Ecophysiology and production ecology of the kelp ecklonia radiata (C.Agardh) J.Agardh, at West Island, South Australia / Victoria Anne Fairhead.

"November 2001" / Bibliography: leaves 132-156. / xii, 166 leaves : ill. (some col.), plates (col.) ; 30 cm. / Title page, contents and abstract only. The complete thesis in print form is available from the University Library. / Focusses on the ecophysiology of Ecklonia radiata and quantifies its carbon contribution to further elucidate E. radiata's role in the nearshore marine environment. The photosynthesis-irradiance response of E. radiata was investigated in situ throughout the year and across the dept profile. A clear seasonal change in photokinetic parameters was detected and provided strong evidence of a seasonal acclimation response. Changes in photokinetic parameters across the depth profile were less pronounced and a significant decline in productivity occurred at deeper depths. The acclimation state of E radiata did alter across the depth profile. / Thesis (Ph.D.)--University of Adelaide, Dept. of Environmental Biology, 2002
