Cultivation of kelp has been well established throughout Asia, and there is now growing interest in the cultivation macroalgae Europe to meet future resource needs. If this industry become Europe, then balancing associated environmental risks with potential benefits will be necessary ensure carrying capacity receiving environments are not exceeded conservation objects undermined. This a systematic review ecosystem changes likely developing seaweed aquaculture industry. Monitoring...
Societal Impact Statement Seaweed cultivation is the fastest‐growing aquaculture sector, with a demonstrable potential to drive development in some of poorest coastal populations worldwide. However, sustainable exploitation, fair access and equitable benefits from marine genetic resources, such as seaweeds have yet be fully realised. Patchy fundamental knowledge on diversity metabolic algae limits their exploitation; scant practical skills low investment breeding restricts germplasm...
Abstract Each year a significant proportion of global food production is lost to pests and diseases, with concerted efforts by government industry focussed on application effective biosecurity policies which attempt minimise their emergence spread. In aquaculture the volume seaweeds produced second only farmed fish red algal carrageenophytes currently represent approximately 42% all seaweeds. Despite this importance, expansion seaweed sector increasingly limited high prevalence recalcitrant...
Abstract Indonesia is the world largest producer of red seaweeds Kappaphycus and Eucheuma ; however, this country facing significant challenges such as disease outbreaks, epiphyte infestations a loss in seedling quality. Biosecurity practices have been widely adopted other aquaculture sectors when enforced can help to limit introduction spread diseases pests. To assess current capacity for biosecurity seaweed Indonesia, systematic analysis policy frameworks including legislation, regulatory...
Abstract The application of biosecurity in seaweed aquaculture plays an important role reducing the impact disease and pest outbreaks. continuous occurrence pests including macroalgal epiphytes, epi-endophytic filamentous algae biofilms on Kappaphycus farms may also potentially induce further incidences ice-ice syndrome. In this study, on-farm management measures were tested commercially grown seaweeds malesianus alvarezii during peak season at Gallam-Gallam Village, Sabah, Malaysia....
Abstract The concept of combining bioenergy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS) has been identified as one mechanism to achieve energy production a net negative atmospheric emission. Conventional geological involves large capital outlay recurring expense. Therefore there is increased interest in coupling biological sequestration biomass production. Systems such low‐input high‐diversity native grasslands biochar have heralded biofuels. Another potential system for (BEBCCS) the large‐scale...
Abstract Farmers are one of the most important components any plant-based cultivation industry. The Philippines is world’s major producers red carrageenophyte algae and has tens thousands farmers involved in this production such as Kappaphycus Eucheuma increased significantly from early 1970s, when industry was established, before declining mid-2000s, due to a number reasons, including disease epiphyte outbreaks. introduction biosecurity measures been approach used tackle decline....
The rapid expansion and globalization of the seaweed production industry, combined with rising seawater temperatures coastal eutrophication, has led to an increase in infectious diseases pest outbreaks. Here, we propose a novel Progressive Management Pathway for improving Seaweed Biosecurity.
Abstract Pest and disease outbreaks have significant impacts on the livelihoods of seaweed farmers each year, particularly in low- to middle-income countries around world. Commercial farming red carrageenophytes, Eucheuma denticulatum , Kappaphycus alvarezii striatus Tanzania was established 1989. The pests diseases local industry had serious implications for environment, society, culture human health. initially characterised by growth, but since 2002 has been severely limited due pest...
This study evaluated on-farm implementation and effectiveness of Malaysian seaweed aquaculture policies regulations that applied the biosecurity concept. The knowledge-attitude-practice (KAP) survey tool was utilised to assess measures adopted by stakeholders, including 67 farmers ten government extension officers, who were located in three most productive producing regions. KAP results indicated a disconnection between national policy uptake practising farmers. Although farmer’s knowledge...
BackgroundAcute Kidney Injury (AKI) is associated with adverse outcomes; therefore identifying patients who are at risk of developing AKI in hospital may lead to targeted prevention.
