The Adaptability of Salicornia bigelovii to Salinity and Nutrient Levels in Aquaculture Effluent by Saisai CHI, Qiufen LI, Zijun LUO, Bo SUN, Wenjie TIAN, Ying MA, Zhiguo DONG, Zhengguo CUI

“…Additionally, under combined high-nutrient and high-salinity (40) treatments, S. bigelovii's growth indices remained relatively stable, and MDA levels did not significantly increase, although some effect was observed. This further confirmed the important role of increased nutrient concentrations in enhancing plant resistance and survival ability under high-salinity conditions. …”
