Effects of nutrient enrichment on protein and amino acid content in the seaweed Ulva sp. cultivated in a land-based system

Key Points

• Protein content significantly increases with nutrient enrichment, enhancing the seaweed's overall nutritional profile.
• Amino acid levels also rise, indicating a direct impact on the quality of Ulva sp. cultivation.
• Analysis of land-based cultivation methods shows promising results for increasing edible biomass.
• These findings may support sustainable aquaculture practices, enhancing food security and nutritional sources.
