IMPACT OF ECOLOGICAL FACTORS ON DISTRIBUTION OF DISEASE ICE - ICE

ABSTRACT

Ecological factors contribute to the spread of infectious diseases ice-ice. This study aims to determine the morphological changes of Kappaphycus alvarezii and distribution of ice-ice disease infection. The study was conducted using the method of cultivation in a raft and observed every 15 days. The results showed that the infection started seen since early planting and influenced by ecological factors.
