Ron:
Do you have the wet weight to dry weight ratios for the Xenia and Caulerpa samples that were tested in your recent article?
I'd like to see where the values come out relative to literature values for Caulerpa and other macroalgae grown in the ocean, but those results are typically provided on a dry weight basis.
In particular, I'm interested in iodine and bromine at the moment. The iodine values in the literature range over more than a factor of 100 depending on the species and location, with Caulerpa sertularoide being 3.1 ppm iodine on a dry weight basis (in one paper). Chaetomorpha species are higher in some papers, and lower in others.
Thanks in advance.
