Abstract
Compared with higher plants, microalgae are attractive for biomass production because of their higher yields and photosynthetic efficiencies. For outdoor pond culture, a large supply of uncontaminated water is required. Massive freshwater supplies are generally scarce in areas receiving maximum sunlight, since most freshwater resources are already being used to capacity for agriculture and domestic requirements. Saline waters in the Southwest might be utilized since sunlight is abundant there, and such waters are too salty for conventional uses.
