Abstract Seaweeds account for nearly 30% of global aquaculture production by volume, and their cultivation provides important opportunities employment wealth generation, particularly in rural coastal communities. Eucheumatoids ( Kappaphycus Eucheuma spp.) are tropical red algae commercially cultivated as raw material carrageenans, South‐East Asia the Western Indian Ocean region. Diseases pests major limiting factors eucheumatoid production, a condition known ‘ice‐ice’ disease (IID). IID is...
The eucheumatoids Kappaphycus and Eucheuma are cultivated in tropical or subtropical regions for the production of carrageenan, a hydrocolloid widely used food cosmetic industries. alvarezii is highly valued economic crop Coral Triangle, with Philippines, Indonesia Malaysia ranked among largest producers. In absence measures to mitigate climate change, extreme events including heatwaves, typhoons, severe El Niño La Niña, expected increase frequency magnitude. This inadvertently brings...
Malaysia is recognized as one of the world’s largest mega biodiversity countries. Under National Biological Diversity Plan (2022-2030), protection and conservation marine organisms their ecosystems are prioritized in alignment with natural climate solutions outlined UN Sustainable Development Goals 2030. A key focus this initiative restoration vital species, habitats, vulnerable ecosystems, including seaweed species like red algae eucheumatoid, which supports Malaysia’s economic, social,...
ABSTRACT As anthropogenic pressures increasingly impact marine ecosystems and the biodiversity they support, governance mechanisms for international conservation have emerged. Seaweed habitats are important repositories biodiversity, provide crucial ecosystem services that support both ocean human health. Despite their ecological significance, seaweeds been overlooked in global discourse compared to other habitats. This study provides a thematic analysis of 18 frameworks assess...
A background study is important for the conservation and stock management of a species. Terapon jarbua coastal Indo-Pacific species, sourced human consumption. This examined 134 samples from central west east coasts Peninsular (West) Malaysia East Malaysia. 1446-bp concatenated dataset mtDNA COI Cyt b sequences was used in this 83 haplotypes were identified, which 79 are unique four shared haplotypes. Populations T. genetically heterogenous as shown by high level haplotype diversity ranging...
Abstract Eucheumatoid cultivation is an important alternative livelihood for small-scale farmers in coastal areas east Malaysia. Over the last 50 years, same clones of red eucheumatoid Kappaphycus alvarezii and Kappaphycu s striatus have been vegetatively propagated resulting low genetic diversity. This has made cultivars more vulnerable to pests diseases, which further exacerbated by climate change. There urgent need, therefore, develop new that are resilient as well environmental In this...
Abstract Grazing, which leads to losses in biomass and drastic declines total crop production, is one of the main concerns seaweed aquaculture. This also thought affect composition associated bacterial communities are believed play a crucial role determining host’s health development. Apart from morphological impairment, studying changes prokaryotic microbiome predicted functional responses grazing will allow us understand underlying effects on host. study first report effect two...

Phycologia 52: 74–81. DOI: 10.2216/12-42.1Crustose algae have relatively simple morphology anatomy, limited characters were major obstacle in delineating of Phaeophyceae). The type species, schmidtii, was described using material collected Indonesia. A subsequent study, Japan, identified as M. but...
SUMMARY The advent of high‐throughput next‐generation sequencing (NGS) has enabled more comprehensive transcriptome analyses to obtain gene expression data and understand metabolic pathways essential for functional analysis systems biology. isolation high purity intact RNA sufficient quality yield is crucial the success NGS sequencing. In green microalgae, extraction nucleic acids hindered by concentration lipids polysaccharides that co‐precipitate with thus resulting in reduced poor...
Abstract Studies have shown that cultivars of the carrageenophytes Kappaphycus and Eucheuma are clones a limited number strains originally domesticated from wild populations. For development selection new cultivars, it is important comprehensive record available variants exists. This study was conducted to provide up-to-date analysis compilation current state as last list compiled nearly decade ago. The present analyzed cox 2–3 spacer 1 (1356 bp) genetic diversity collected 2019 2020 east...
Microalgae are ecologically important as a major primary productivity driver via photosynthetic carbon fixation. As the producers and food sources for higher trophic organisms, microalgae play crucial role in maintaining equilibrium of webs aquatic ecosystem. The current shifts global climate due to anthropogenic release greenhouse gases have been reported pose numerous impacts on microalgae. Extreme fluctuations atmospheric temperature, light intensity, ultraviolet (UV) radiations, dioxide...
