Abstract: In order to explore the optimal co-culture pattern of Pinctada fucata martensii and macroalgae,three coculture patterns,including P. martensii and Caulerpa sertularioides,Caulerpa lentillifera and Eucheuma muricatum( experimental groups),and non-co-culture pattern( control group) were compared. The changes of NH4+-N and NO3-N concentration and survival rate of the juveniles of P. fucata martensii were recorded. The results showed that the co-culture groups purified mariculture water more effectively with higher survival rate of oysters. The Caulerpa lentillifera group absorbed NH4+-N and NO3-N most effectively,which were 0. 015 ± 0. 003 mg·L-1and 0. 266 ± 0. 002 mg·L-1respectively,the lowest in the mariculture water,at 47 d and 49 d after the experiment,and had the highest survival rate of P. fucata martensii( 93. 33%) and the highest daily weight increase( 0. 86 g·d-1) of C. lentillifera. The oysters of the experimental groups had significantly higher daily increment of mean shell height than the control group( P < 0. 05).
