•The combination of high nutrient and higher temperature expected to decline U. prolifera blooms at hyper-salinity (40 psu).•Ocean warming and eutrophication enhance the growth of Ulva prolifera in hypo-saline condition (20 psu).•Chinese strain grew better in hypo-saline seawater (20 psu) than the s...
