The game welcome pack? has changed when it comes to self catering holidays, the flexibility and freedom offered is attracting experienced travellers with high standards. Give your guests more than they are expecting, go the extra mile, surprise them with an unexpected extra touch… you get the gist. It is fairly likely that your guests will arrive tired, hungry and a little stressed, so make them smile with a thoughtful welcome hamper on arrival. Welsh Welcome Packs Toolkit 5 180416 LANTRA Welcome Pack ENG Toolkit PRINT.indd 5 25/04/2018 12:42 Okay, I’m convinced. How do I decide what to put in the pack? Follow these steps... What type of accommodation do you offer? Is it a luxurious, high-end rental, or a back to basics retreat in the 1 middle of the country? Your welcome pack should reflect your offering, and with it your prices. Who are the guests? 2 Are they a family with young children? Is it a couple on a romantic getaway? Are they bringing a furry friend? Provide child and animal-friendly treats to impress the parents. When are they arriving? 3 For late arrivals, include something they can whip up for supper, a few breakfast items and maybe some herbal teas or hot chocolate. Lunch time arrivals might appreciate some locally grown fresh vegetables to ignite their culinary skills for dinner. And there is no time constraint on tucking into a home baked cake. Are they celebrating an occasion? 4 You can theme your offering to cater for birthdays, honeymoons and anniversaries, for example including a bottle of local wine, ales or ciders, a bowl of fresh fruit, or a selection of local chocolates along with a greetings card. 6 Welsh Welcome Packs Toolkit 180416 LANTRA Welcome Pack ENG Toolkit PRINT.indd 6 25/04/2018 12:42 How can I make the pack unique?

    OVERVIEW OF THE SEAWEED INDUSTRY BY COUNTRY IRELAND, FRANCE, NORWAY, PORTUGAL, SPAIN, UNITED KINGDOM WWW.NETALGAE.EU A summary of the initial findings of the netalgae project regarding the current status of the seaweed industries in the participant countries IRISH INDUSTRY Overview of the Irish macroalgae industry The Irish Macroalgae Industry The Irish macroalgae industry employs 185 people and is worth approximately €18 million per annum*. Over 99% of raw material comes from the manual harvesting Macroalgae processing centres of natural resources, most of the harvesting occurs along the coasts of Donegal, Sligo, Mayo, Galway, Kerry and Cork. Every year, approximately 30,000 tonnes of V Other Applications V Multiple Applications algae is processed in Ireland. The most important species is Ascophyllum nodosum, V Cosmetics, Therapies and Treatments which accounts for approximately 25,000 tonnes or 95% of domestic production. V Agricultural, Horticulture Ascophyllum nodosum is processed at two factories on the west coast (Donegal & & Animal Welfare Products V Food Products Galway) and is used to produce fertilizers, horticultural products and animal feed. A significant quantity of national production is sold as raw material for further industrial processing. Numerous other species are harvested and used for commercial purposes in Ireland including; Fucus serratus, Chondrus crispus, Laminaria digitata, Fucus vesiculosus and Saccharina latissima. Ireland has been importing significant quantities of Lithothamnion corallioides from Iceland for processing into agricultural and nutritional products. Aquaculture of macroalgae is still largely experimental in Ireland and has not contributed significantly to domestic production of algae, experimental cultivation of Asparagopsis armata, Alaria esculenta, Palmaria palmata, Laminaria digitata and Porphyra has been achieved over the last 20 years.

    Chapter Major Natural Vegetation in Coastal and Marine Wetlands: Edible Seaweeds Ilknur Babahan, Birsen Kirim and Hamideh Mehr Abstract For thousands of years, seaweeds grown in coastal and marine have been used as food, materials and medicines by the people. Edible seaweeds directly consumed, especially in Asian, are used for preparing food due to the their components contain- ing minerals, essential trace elements, and various natural compounds. At the last decades, they have been getting more and more attention in food and pharmaceutical industries because of their biological activities such as anti-cancer, anti-obesity, anti-diabetes, anti-microbial, and anti-oxidant activity. Therefore, in the present study, we have worked on to understand the structure of edible seaweeds. It is worthy to mention that they can be considered as source of some proteins, polyunsaturated fatty acids, minerals, vitamins, dietary fibers, antioxidants, and phytochemicals. Keywords: edible seaweeds, polysaccharides, anti-cancer, anti-obesity, anti-diabetes, anti-oxidant, anti-microbial 1. Introduction Macroalgae or called seaweeds are multicellular, marine species and are con- sidered as non-vascular plants. Although term seaweed is widely used but these species are characteristically far from “weeds” but the fact is, seaweeds are the main productive species in the oceans and food chain basis. Seaweeds are used directly or indirectly in food and household products without being tasted or smelled. They are vastly used in food industry due to their valuable elements, vitamin, and proteins [1]. Sea or brackish water is the main habitat for seaweeds (macroalgae), and are referred as benthic marine algae or sea vegetables due their choice of habitat in the sea [2–4].

    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Polyploid lineages in the genus Porphyra Elena Varela-Álvarez 1, João Loureiro2, Cristina Paulino1 & Ester A. Serrão1 Whole genome duplication is now accepted as an important evolutionary force, but the genetic factors Received: 27 January 2017 and the life history implications afecting the existence and abundance of polyploid lineages within Accepted: 18 May 2018 species are still poorly known. Polyploidy has been mainly studied in plant model species in which the Published: xx xx xxxx sporophyte is the dominant phase in their life history. In this study, we address such questions in a novel system (Porphyra, red algae) where the gametophyte is the dominant phase in the life history. Three Porphyra species (P. dioica, P. umbilicalis, and P. linearis) were used in comparisons of ploidy levels, genome sizes and genetic diferentiation using fow cytometry and 11 microsatellite markers among putative polyploid lineages. Multiple ploidy levels and genome sizes were found in Porphyra species, representing diferent cell lines and comprising several cytotype combinations among the same and diferent individuals. In P. linearis, genetic diferentiation was found among three polyploid lineages: triploid, tetraploid and mixoploids, representing diferent evolutionary units. We conclude that the gametophytic phase (n) in Porphyra species is not haploid, contradicting previous theories. New hypotheses for the life histories of Porphyra species are discussed. Polyploidy, the increase in genome size by the acquisition of more than one set of chromosomes has been a key factor in eukaryote evolution. In fact, most fowering plants and vertebrates descend from polyploid ancestors1. In angiosperms, many species have been suggested to have polyploid ancestry2.

    FAO ISSN 2070-7010 FISHERIES AND 531 AQUACULTURE TECHNICAL PAPER 531 Use of algae and aquatic macrophytes as feed in small-scale aquaculture A review Use of algae and aquatic macrophytes as feed in small-scale aquaculture – A review While the contribution of small-scale aquaculture (SSA) to rural development is generally recognized, until now there has been no systematic assessment to clearly measures its contribution. The FAO Expert Workshop on Methods and Indicators for Evaluating the Contribution of Small-scale Aquaculture to Sustainable Rural Development held in Nha Trang, Viet Nam, from 24 to 28 November 2009, attempted to develop an indicator system to measure the contribution of SSA. The workshop used a number of processes and steps in the developping the indicator system, including: (i) understanding the subject of measurements; (ii) identifying an analytical framework and ratting criteria (iii) developing a list of SSA contributions; (iv) categorizing the contributions; (v) devising and organizing the indicators of contribution; and (vi) measuring the indicators. The major outcome was the development, through an iterative process, of an indicator system which can provide a good measure of the contribution of SSA based on agreed criteria (accuracy, measurability and efficiency) and the sustainable livelihood approach analytical framework which consists of five capital assets (human, financial, physical, social and natural) and can be used for various livelihoods options.
