	abstract = {ABSTRACT The presence of the {\textquotedblleft}symbiotic{\textquotedblright} red alga Hypneocolax stellaris Borgesen was found to substantially reduce the growth rate of Hypnea musciformis (Wulfen) Lamouroux. The growth rate of injected field material was 40\% less than unifected thalli. Likewise, the growth rate of host thalli infected in the laboratory was reduced 70\% compared to uninfected thalli. Neither the quantity nor quality of carrageenan extracted from Hypnea musciformis was directly affected by the presence of Hypneocolax stellaris. In a mariculture system the presence of a symbiotic alga on its host would be expected to reduce the host{\textquoteright}s growth rate and thereby lower its economic potential.},
