Micro-propagation of Kappaphycus and Eucheuma: Trends and prospects
(Springer International Publishing, 2017)
Among the red algae, Kappaphycus and Eucheuma are the two most commercially important carrageenophytes farmed extensively in Southeast Asian countries; they rank top in production in terms of volume of raw material produced. ...
Effect of short-term immersion of Kappaphycus alvarezii (Doty) Doty in high nitrogen on the growth, nitrogen assimilation, carrageenan quality, and occurrence of “ice-ice” disease
(Springer Verlag, 2015)
Short-term immersion of Kappaphycus alvarezii (Doty) Doty in a high-nitrogen-containing medium was tested to increase growth, improve the quality of carrageenan, and decrease “ice-ice” disease occurrence. Tank-reared ...
Clonal production of Kappaphycus alvarezii (Doty) Doty in vitro
(Springer Verlag, 2017)
Micropropagation has proven to be a reliable method to mass produce certain crops. This method also has been applied in macroalgae to produce clones for seaweed farming. Protocols for callus production and shoot regeneration ...
Use of Acadian marine plant extract powder from Ascophyllum nodosum in tissue culture of Kappaphycus varieties
(Springer Verlag, 2009)
Three varieties of Kappaphycus alvarezii (Kapilaran, KAP), Tambalang purple (PUR), Adik-adik (AA), and one variety of Kappaphycus striatum var. sacol (green sacol (GS) were used to determine the efficiency of Acadian marine ...
Impact of AMPEP on the growth and occurrence of epiphytic Neosiphonia infestation on two varieties of commercially cultivated Kappaphycus alvarezii grown at different depths in the Philippines
(Springer, 2011)
Two varieties of the carrageenophyte Kappaphycus alvarezii (Tungawan, TUNG; and Giant tambalang, GTAM) from Zamboanga Sibugay, Philippines were used to test the efficacy of Acadian Marine Plant Extract Powder (AMPEP) as ...
Occurrence of Polysiphonia epiphytes in Kappaphycus farms at Calaguas Is., Camarines Norte, Phillippines
(Springer Verlag, 2006)
This paper describes the occurrence of an epiphyte infestation of Kappaphycus farms in Calaguas Is. Camarines Norte, Philippines. In particular, percentage cover of ‘goose bump’-Polysiphonia and ‘ice-ice’ disease, and some ...
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 ...
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 ...
Gathering of economically important seaweeds in Western Visayas, Philippines
(San Carlos Publications, 1992)
A survey was conducted in 12 coastal municipalities of Western Visayas, Philippines from March to July 1990 to determine the seaweed gathering practices of fishermen. There were 83 gatherers involved in this small-scale ...
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 ...
