A preliminary summary on Kappaphycus farming and the impact of epiphytes
(Japanese Society of Phycology, 2004)
The read seaweed Kappaphycus alvarezii (Doty) Doty ex. P.C. Silva, commonly called "cottonii" in the processing industry, is used as raw material for the production of the hydrocolloid kappa carrageenan. Through biotechnological ...
Distribution of the tropical seaweed crops Eucheuma spp. and Kappaphycus spp. inside and outside of their native range
(Taylor and Francis, 2021)
Seaweed aquaculture is a fast-growing industry worldwide and has the potential to change the seascape of coastal regions, including the movement of species outside their native range. Two of the crops with the highest ...
Gracilaria (Rhodophyta) farming in Panay, Western Visayas, Philippines
(Elsevier, 1992)
Interviews were conducted among eight Gracilaria growers in Panay, Western Visayas, Philippines from March to July (1990) using a structured questionnaire. The "rice planting" method was employed by farmers growing seaweeds ...
Deep-sea farming of Kappaphycus using the multiple raft, long-line method
(Walter de Gruyter, 2002)
Farming practices of Kappaphycus seaweed planters using the multiple raft, long-line method were assessed in three major cultivation areas of Zamboanga del Sur, Mindanao. Results show that this cultivation method is ...
Carrageenan properties and proximate composition of three morphotypes of Kappaphycus alvarezii Doty (Gigartinales, Rhodophyta) grown at two depths
(Walter de Gruyter, 1995)
Three morphotypes (brown, green and red) of Kappaphycus alvarezii grown at two depths were evaluated for carrageenan properties and proximate composition. The green morphotype was significantly different from the brown and ...
Growing the reproductive cells (carpospores) of the seaweed, Kappaphycus striatum, in the laboratory until outplanting in the field and maturation to tetrasporophyte
(Springer Verlag, 2010)
Carposporophytes of the seaweed, Kappaphycus striatum, from the wild were made to shed spores in the laboratory and grown in multi-step culture method until they reached maturity. For each succeeding transfer onto increasingly ...
Agar production from Gracilariopsis heteroclada (Gracilariales, Rhodophyta) grown at different salinity levels
(Walter de Gruyter, 1994)
Gracilariopsis heteroclada grown in fiber glass tanks at four salinity levels was treated with three different concentrations of aqueous NaOH. Yield, gel strength, gelling and melting temperatures of the extracted agar ...
Agar yield, gel strength and sulfate content in Gracilariopsis heteroclada farmed in brackishwater canals
(Society of Israeli Aquaculture and Marine Biotechnology, 1996)
This paper aimed at determining the optimum NaOH pretreatment strength and duration and the monthly variations in gel strength, agar yield and sulfate content of agar from Gracilariopsis heteroclada (Zhang et Xia) farmed ...
Growth and agar quality of Gracilaria heteroclada (Zhang et Xia) grown in a filter tank
(College of Agriculture, University of the Philippines Los Baños, 2006)
Gracilaria heteroclada Zhang et Xia was grown in filter tanks to determine the growth, agar quality and uptake pattern of nitrogen and to observe the water quality in recirculating water system with seaweed.
Rapid uptake ...
Cage culture of Kappaphycus alvarezii var. tambalang (Gigartinales, Rhodophyceae)
(Springer Verlag, 1992)
Kappaphycus alvarezii var. tambalang was cultured in a 3 × 3 m bamboo raft installed inside a 4 × 4 m floating net cage of Lates calcarifer (sea bass) broodstock at SEAFDEC Sub-station Igang, Guimaras, Philippines, from ...
