The interactive effect of some environmental factors on the growth, agar yield and quality of Gracilariopsis bailinae (Zhang et Xia) cultured in tanks
(Walter de Gruyter, 1997)
The single and interactive effects of light and temperature, salinity, and urea enrichment on the growth and agar yield and quality of Gracilariopsis bailinae were determined under indoor and outdoor tank conditions. Culture ...
Exploring, harnessing and conserving marine genetic resources towards a sustainable seaweed aquaculture
(Wiley Open Access, 2021-03-27)
Seaweed cultivation is the fastest‐growing aquaculture sector, with a demonstrable potential to drive development in some of the poorest coastal populations worldwide. However, sustainable exploitation, fair access and ...
Preliminary survey of pests and diseases of eucheumatoid seaweed farms in the Philippines
(Springer, 2021-05-04)
Farmed eucheumatoids are the top aquaculture commodity in the Philippines, contributing more than 60% of total national aquaculture production by volume. Despite significant production losses observed in recent years due ...
Understanding biosecurity: Knowledge, attitudes and practices of seaweed farmers in the Philippines
(Springer, 2021-01-26)
Farmers are one of the most important components of any plant-based cultivation industry. The Philippines is one of the world’s major producers of red carrageenophyte algae and has tens of thousands of farmers involved in ...
Growth and carrageenan quality of Kappaphycus striatum var. sacol grown at different stocking densities, duration of culture and depth
(Springer Verlag, 2008)
Kappaphycus striatum var. sacol was grown in two separate studies: (1) at two stocking densities, and (2) at four different depths, each for three different durations of culture (30, 45 and 60 days) in order to determine ...
Potentials of Kappaphycus striatum (Schnitz) and Gracilaria heteroclada Zhang (Ad Xia) to control the growth of luminous bacteria Vibrio harveyi
(University of the Philippines Los Baños, 2010)
Different aquaculture species such as finfishes and bivalves have been reported to control the luminous bacterial disease of shrimp, usually caused by Vibrio harveyi. The use of seaweeds in shrimp culture system has ...
Growth and carrageenan quality of sporophyte and gametophyte of the commercially important red seaweed Kappaphycus alvarezii
(Science and Technology Information Institute, Department of Science and Technology, 2022)
One dilemma facing the farming of the carrageenophyte Kappaphycus is the deteriorating quality of seedstock. Rejuvenating the commercial stocks using spores from reproductive wild parents that are sexually and asexually ...
Ice-Ice disease: An environmentally and microbiologically driven syndrome in tropical seaweed aquaculture
(Wiley, 2022-01)
Seaweeds account for nearly 30% of global aquaculture production by volume, and their cultivation provides important opportunities for employment and wealth generation, particularly in rural coastal communities. Eucheumatoids ...
Seasonal growth, carrageenan properties, and resistance to disease and epiphytic pests between Kappaphycus alvarezii (Rhodophyta) var. tambalang (brown) tissue-cultured and farm-sourced seaweeds
(Springer, 2024-01-08)
Growth performance (specific growth rate [SGR] and biomass yield), carrageenan properties (yield, viscosity, and gel strength), and disease and pest incidence were compared between Kappaphycus alvarezii var. tambalang ...
Temporal variation in the incidence of seaweed health problems affecting farmed Kappaphycus striatus in relation to environmental conditions in shallow waters
(Springer, 2024-04-18)
A fixed off-bottom Kappaphycus striatus var. sacol farm was monitored for 12 months (June 2019 to May 2020) and the monthly incidence of disease and pests was recorded. Meteorological information in situ, from the nearest ...
