Seaweed aquaculture: cultivation technologies, challenges and its ecosystem services (2017, background): “Gracilaria / Gracilariopsis are also euryhaline species, which can tolerate a wide range of salinities, from about 10-40 psu, though they grow best in ranges of 25-33 psu (Yokoya et al. 1999, Weinberger et al. 2008, Kim et al. 2016, Gorman et al. 2017).”
Impacts of an abundant introduced ecosystem engineer within mudflats of the southeastern US coast (2012, unknown): “It is not clear why Gracilaria succeeds where other benthic seaweeds and seagrasses largely fail, though Gracilaria appears to be tolerant of stresses in salinity, light and temperature within some experimental tests (Thomsen and McGlathery 2007; Weinberger et al. 2008; Nyberg and Wallentinus 2009).”
