Abstract:

In this study, the effect of temperature, photoperiod, and initial cell density on the growth of P. lima was studied using the Orthogonal Design Method. The results showed all three factors had significant effects on the growth of this dinoflagellate (F>F0.01), ranking as: initial cell density > photoperiod > temperature. The optimum culture condition was: 30℃, 12h︰12h, and an initial cell density of 2000cells•mL?1.

Key words: Prorocentrum lima, temperature, photoperiod, initial cell density, orthogonal design
