Abstract: 

The agar agar obtained from Gracilaria verrucosa growing in commercial quantities in Chilka Lake, Orissa was found to be having an yield of 23% and gel strength of 41 gm/cm . In order to exploit this agarophyte for the same with other agarophytes like Gelidlella acerosa and Gracilaria edulis in three different proportions was studied.
