Salinity Response of the Seagrass Amphibolis antarctica (Labill.) Sonder et Aschers.: an Experimental Validation of Field Results

Viviparous seedlings of Amphibolis antarctica were collected in May 1983 from Monkey Mia, Western Australia (26° 15' S, 113° 36'E) and grown in artificial seawater cultures ranging in salinity from 35 to 65%. Leaf number and colour were recorded and seedling mortality was assessed at 7-10 day intervals.

南极海神草（Amphibolis antarctica）的胎生幼苗于1983年5月采自澳大利亚西部猴子米亚（26°15′S，113°36′E），随后被置于盐度区间为35‰至65‰的人工海水培养液中培养。实验期间每隔7至10天记录幼苗的叶片数量与颜色，并对其死亡率进行评估。
