abstract：:The marine diatom Cyclotella cryptica was grown over a period of 13 months in a 48-m(2) shallow outdoor flume. The use of foil arrays at intervals of 1.2 m to effect systematic vertical mixing in the flume was found to significantly enhance microalgal production (p = 0.006). Average photosynthetic efficiencies (based ...
