Abstract: The study aimed to determine effect of turbidity on the bleaching condition of Sargassum sp. The study was conducted experimentally used completely randomized design with three treatments and six replications. The turbidity used was treatment A 10 cm, treatment B 30 cm and treatment C 50cm. The main parameters observed were thallus color gradation, structure and texture, cell shape and size and chlorophyll-α content of Sargassum sp. The supported parameters observed was water quality. The result showed each turbidity treatment showed significant different effect on thallus color gradation and chlorophyll-α content of Sargassum sp. (p<0.05). Lowest thallus color gradation of Sargassum sp. was in treatment A (38.167%) and highest color gradation was in treatment C (45.0965%). Lowest chlorophyll-α content was in treatment A (0.02305 μmol) and highest chlorophyll-α content was in treatment C (0.03280 μ mol).
