This fact sheet explores the optimal conditions for cultivating Asparagopsis taxiformis gametophytes, focusing on temperature, light intensity, and spectrum to maximize growth rates and bromoform concentration. Key findings include that reduced light intensity and temperatures below 23°C promote both growth and bromoform levels, critical for offshore seaweed farming and methane-reduction applications in livestock feed.
