Is it true that farmed algae grown are often overtaken by “wild” algae after just a few days or weeks?
• Depending on the type of algae grown, the location and the system used, it is possible for wild algae to out compete the target species. However, if a large enough quantity of algae is used to inoculate the system and/or the system is closed or semi-closed, the target algae can be grown to sufficient quantities to prevent wild algae from taking over.
