    Algal pollution and marine fouling in Port Phillip Bay
    Spencer, Roger David ( 1972)
    The growth of Ulva lactuca L. in conditions of organic pollution is discussed. Germlings and frond discs of Ulva were cultured in the laboratory to examine the relationship between growth and the chemical composition of a variety of growth media. Quantitative and qualitative aspects of marine fouling on test panels submerged in two areas of Port Phillip Bay, at depths between 3 and 15m, were studied in relation to environmental conditions. The factors controlling the deposition of weed on the beaches of Port Phillip Bay were investigated.
