Assessment of hydrogen peroxide as a bioindicator of stress in seaweed aquaculture.

ABSTRACT: The rapid expansion in commercial seaweed farming has highlighted the need for more effective monitoring methods, and health diagnostics. The production of the reactive oxygen species (ROS) hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) is a trait that is tied to all major macroalgal groups and holds significance both for its involvement in the oxidative stress response and in the production of climatically relevant gases such as halocarbons. Observations of increased production of H₂O₂ by plants as a stress response, along with its comparative stability and ease of quantification in seawater in comparison to other ROS, suggest that H₂O₂ could be used as an indicator of health. In this study we characterized aqueous H₂O₂ dyn
