Abstract
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 ('° 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.
