Green gold rush in the Baltic Sea: Investigating sea lettuce's performance by distribution mapping of valuable compounds in a fluctuating environment.

We revealed an overall trend of increasing crude protein content with increasing salinity in species with occurrence along the whole Atlantic‐Baltic Sea transect ( U. intestinalis : slope = 0.29; U. linza : slope = 0.09) and those only present in higher salinity regions ( U. compressa : slope = 0.36; U. fenestrata : slope = 0.18) and confirmed an increase of pigments with increasing nitrogen tissue levels for most species ( U. compressa : r pigments = 0.43; U. fenestrata : r pigments = 0.01; U. intestinalis : r pigments = 0.13; U. linza : r pigments = 0.21).
