Seasonal Variation in the Inorganic Constituents of the Marine Alga Nereocystis luetkeana Part II, Non-metallic Elements

The seasonal fluctuations in the halogens, nitrate, silica, sulphur, carbonate, phosphorus and boron contents of the fronds and stipes of the marine alga Nereocystis luetkeana are presented, compared and discussed to afford a conclusive assessment of the mineral component of this alga.
