SUMMARY Exploration of Australian fucoids for aquaculture has been limited, despite their high diversity and endemism. Sargassum fusiforme ( hijiki in Japanese) is a highly‐valued seaweed worldwide human consumption, but concerns about arsenic concentrations limit importation into countries with strict safe‐food regulations. We investigated the temporal small‐scale spatial variation distribution, abundance, thallus length, reproduction biofouling two fucoids, Cystophora torulosa Caulocystis...
Seaweed cultivation is gaining interest world-wide for both food and non-food applications. Global seaweed aquaculture production currently exceeds 32 Mt WW per annum but dominated (86% of total) by Asian countries. To meet future demand products, regions beyond Asia with potential are being explored. The goal this study was to assess the suitability native kelp Macrocystis pyrifera (Phaeophyceae, Laminariales), in Tasmania, south-eastern Australia. M. cultivated on seeded twine loops (1 – 5...
Lessonia variegata is an Aotearoa-New Zealand (A-NZ)-endemic kelp with significant commercial potential. Overseas, spp. are harvested for use as human and animal food, cosmetics, bioactives biomedical applications. In A-NZ, interest in developing cultivation methodologies applications L. growing, especially because it exposed-shore species which makes ideal candidate exposed-coast or open-ocean aquaculture. However, establishing of A-NZ currently challenging essential knowledge about its...
Abstract Exploration of Australian fucoids for aquaculture production has been limited, despite globally high regional diversity and endemism. Sargassum fusiforme ( hijiki in Japanese) is amongst the most highly valued seaweeds worldwide human consumption, but concerns about arsenic concentrations limit importation into countries with strict safe-food regulations standards. We investigated temporal small-scale spatial variation distribution, abundance, growth (estimated by changes length),...
Abstract Cultivation of Osmundea pinnatifida (Hudson) Stackhouse in flasks and/or tanks has yet to be developed beyond the lab scale. However, establishment a methodology for supply this red seaweed great potential, considering that it can exploited either as food or source biologically active compounds with potential nutraceutical, pharmaceutical and cosmetic applications. This study investigates possibility growing O. Algem® photo bioreactor (PBR) system, normally utilised microalgae...
