En slarvig webbsökning gav inte så många resultat, man jag hittade iaf de här: Surge ammonium uptake in macroalgae from a coral atoll
("Surge" verkar syfta på upptagningshastighet, inte vattenvågor.) "the ratios of dark to light uptake during surge phase were 0.7, 0.75 and 1 respectively for U. lactuca, S. robusta and D. dichotoma, suggesting that the ability of the algae to take up ammonium during surge is as significant in dark as in light. Average ratio of dark to light uptake from all measurements was 0.81 ± 0.44."

Den här verkar även tyda på att alger gynnas av oregelbunden näringstillförsel: Nitrogen and phosphorus uptake rates of different species from a coral reef community after a nutrient pulse "Our results support the ... assumption that turf algae and opportunistic macroalgae primarily benefit from episodic inputs of nutrients to coral reefs."
...
"Of all reef organisms considered here, the highest nutrient uptake rates per unit biomass were found for turf algae"

--Så man kan kanske omvänt gynna korallers näringsupptag med en jämn näringstillförsel, genom att fördela matningen över fler tillfällen under dagen?
