The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Microalgal bioreactors: Challenges and opportunities (2009, background): “A comparison of open and closed systems for microalgae [18, 97].”
Microalgal mass culture systems and methods: Their limitation and potential (2001, background): “Various physiological and technological approaches have been proposed and investigated for maximising productivity in mass algal culture systems (see Chaumont, 1993; Grobbelaar, 2000; Richmond 1996, 2000).”
Large-Scale Production of Algal Biomass: Raceway Ponds (2016, background): “…an average annual dry biomass productivity of around 0.025 kg m−2 d−1 in a well-operated raceway (Chisti 2012; Mendoza et al. 2013a), but higher daily productivities have been recorded (Terry and Raymond 1985; Grobbelaar 2000; Moheimani and Borowitzka 2007) during suitable weather conditions.”
The Growth Factors Involved in Microalgae Cultivation for Biofuel Production: A Review (2020, background): “In order to reduce these limitations, researchers have been invested a large amount of money in the development of new PBR designs due to the high operational control and the high productivity provided by the PBRs and thus make microalgae-based processes viable [7] [12] [13].”
Lipid productivity as a key characteristic for choosing algal species for biodiesel production (2009, background): “Further, the number of strains commonly exploited in algal biotechnology remains few (Grobbelaar 2000).”
