Systems and methods for maintaining the dominance ofin an algae cultivation system are provided. Exemplary methods include applying an effective amount of a disinfectant togrowing in an algae cultivation system. Another method for maintaining the dominance ofin an algae cultivation system includes adjusting a salinity in the algae cultivation system to between approximately 0.5 PPT and 28 PPT. In a further method, the temperature of the algae cultivation system may be adjusted to between approximately 21 and 32 degrees Celsius ('&#xb0; C.'). According to yet another method for maintaining the dominance ofin an algae cultivation system, a salinity in the algae cultivation system may be adjusted to below that of seawater for a first predetermined period of time, and then the salinity in the algae cultivation system may be adjusted to a higher salinity for a second predetermined period of time.

Systems and methods for maintaining the dominance and increasing the biomass production ofin an algae cultivation system are provided. Exemplary methods include applying an effective amount of ozone togrowing in an algae cultivation system. A further method may include applying a shock amount of ozone above 10 milligrams/liter or higher in the inlet stream flowing into the algae cultivation system. Various exemplary embodiments may include a system for maintaining dominance and increasing the biomass production ofin an algae cultivation system. The system may comprise a processor, and a computer readable storage medium having instructions for execution by the processor. The instructions for execution by the processor cause the processor to maintain dominance and increase biomass production of thein the algae cultivation system.
