The global status of seaweed production, trade and utilization, by Fatima Ferdouse, Zhengyong Yang, Susan Løvstad Holdt, Pedro Murúa and Rohan Smith, FAO Consultants. Globefish Research Programme Volume 124. Rome, Italy. ABSTRACT This report is an update of the status of the global seaweed market: production figures from culture and capture, the size of the international market for seaweed and its commercially important extracts, the leading nations by region, developments in processing and utilization technology, and innovations in the industry, as well as the challenges and outlook for the industry. As it is not possible to feature all individual countries of importance in the seaweed sector, several have been selected as being representative of the different regions of the world: Asia [China, Indonesia, the Republic of Korea, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore and Thailand); South America (Chile); Europe (Denmark, the European Union); and Africa (Morocco, South Africa and Zanzibar (Tanzania)]. The sections on Chile, China, Denmark and South Africa are based largely on previous studies commissioned by the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO).

  • Intertidal and Subtidal Benthic Seaweed Diversity of South Georgia
    Intertidal and Subtidal Benthic Seaweed Diversity of South Georgia Report for the South Georgia Heritage Trust Survey September 2011 Shallow Marine Survey Group E Wells1, P Brewin and P Brickle 1 Wells Marine, Norfolk, UK Executive Summary South Georgia is a highly isolated island with its marine life influenced by the circumpolar currents. The local seaweed communities have been researched sporadically over the last two centuries with most species collections and records documented for a limited number of sites within easy access. Despite the harsh conditions of the shallow marine environment of South Georgia a unique and diverse array of algal flora has become well established resulting in a high level of endemism. Current levels of seaweed species diversity were achieved along the north coast of South Georgia surveying 15 sites in 19 locations including both intertidal and subtidal habitats. In total 72 species were recorded, 8 Chlorophyta, 19 Phaeophyta and 45 Rhodophyta. Of these species 24 were new records for South Georgia, one of which may even be a new record for the Antarctic/sub-Antarctic. Historic seaweed studies recorded 103 species with a new total for the island of 127 seaweed species. Additional records of seaweed to the area included both endemic and cosmopolitan species. At this stage it is unknown as to the origin of such species, whether they have been present on South Georgia for long periods of time or if they are indeed recent additions to the seaweed flora. It may be speculated that many have failed to be recorded due to the nature of South Georgia, its sheer isolation and inaccessible coastline.

Max R. Wenno1)* Martha L. Wattimena1) Zulfikar A. Rumakey1) Johanna L. Thenu2) 1)Departement of Aquatic Product Technology, Faculty of Fishery and Marine Science, Pattimura University, Ambon. 2)Fishery Education and Trainning Center, Ambon ABSTRACT Seaweed (algae) is one of the potential export commodity to be developed. Kinds of seaweed that has a high economic value include: Rhodophyceae (red algae) as a produce of agar and carrageenan, Phaeophyceae (brown algae) as a produce of alginates. Seaweed potential of 1.2 million hectares, the potential production of dried seaweed on average 16 tons every year, however, seaweed explored just about two percent. This fact indicated that seaweed is one commodity that have the opportunity to developed, both in terms of aquaculture, biotechnology and processing. The aimed of this study was to determine the kinds of seaweed and the best ratio of filtrate and water, based on a physical test and determine the chemical composition of nata de seaweed. Keywords : Eucheuma cottonii, Gracilaria sp., nata de seaweed, physic and chemical characteristics INTRODUCTION Commercial seaweed that have high economic value in Indonesia are grouped into five there are Eucheuma, Hypnea, Gracilaria, Gelidium, and Sargassum (Anggadiredja et al. 2010). The large quantities in Moluccas is Eucheuma, Gracilaria and Hypnea usually used by local people for consumption as food, besides used for export commodity (Sutomo 2006 in Siahaya 2011). Low utilization of seaweed is one of the opportunities for the development of product diversification for example Nata de seaweed product.

The fat content was deter- mined in all the algae and the fatty acid composition was examined by gas chroma- tography. Overall the seaweeds displayed a low fat content with 0.24 and 3.28g/100g dry weight (DW). The red algae Porphyra yezoensis had the highest content of PUFAs with 58.7% and also the highest content of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) with 49.8%, while Undaria pinnatifida displayed the second highest levels with 44.4% PUFA and 13.3% EPA.

  • Kappaphycus Alvarezii) in Malaysian Food Products
    International Food Research Journal 26(6): 1677-1687 (December 2019) Journal homepage: http://www.ifrj.upm.edu.my Application of seaweed (Kappaphycus alvarezii) in Malaysian food products Mohammad, S. M., Mohd Razali, S. F., Mohamad Rozaiman, N. H. N., Laizani, A. N. and *Zawawi, N. Faculty of Food Science and Technology, Universiti Putra Malaysia, 43400 UPM Serdang, Malaysia Article history Abstract Received: 15 August, 2018 Kappaphycus alvarezii is a species of red algae, and one of the most important carrageenan Received in revised form: sources for food, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical industries. It is commercially cultivated in the 24 May, 2019 eastern part of Malaysia. Although K. alvarezii is rich in nutrients, it is limited in its integration Accepted: 25 September, 2019 into Malaysian food products. Therefore, the present work was conducted to investigate the quality characteristics, sensorial attributes, and antioxidant activity of K. alvarezii in Malaysian food products. Seaweed puree (SP) from K. alvarezii at 10%, 20% and 30% concentrations were Keywords prepared in the formulations of fish sausages, flat rice noodles and yellow alkaline noodles. Seaweed, Kappaphycus Proximate analysis, physicochemical analysis, microbial count, total phenolic content (TPC), Alvarezii, Fish sausages, sensory evaluation, and consumer acceptance survey of the formulated food were conducted. Noodle, Physicochemical The incorporation of K. alvarezii significantly increased the fibre, moisture, and ash content in properties, Consumer formulated foods. In addition, the TPC content of K. alvarezii food also significantly increased acceptance up to 42 mg GAE/100 g. The presence of SP in food at higher concentration decreased the microbial counts. Sensory analysis confirmed that only fish sausages added with SP was overall acceptable as compared to control.

However, many current trade names do not reflect the evolutionary species and updated taxonomy, this is especially the case for eucheumatoid seaweeds that are highly variable in morphology and pigmentation. Genetic variation is also not known for the cultivated eucheumatoids in Indonesia. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the species and the level of genetic variation within species of cultivated eucheumatoids from various farms across Indonesia, spanning 150-1500 km, using the DNA barcoding method. Samples of seaweed were randomly collected at 14 farmed locations between April 2017 and May 2018. For this study the 5- prime end (~ 600 bp) of the mitochondrial-encoded cytochrome oxidase subunit one (COI) was amplified and sequenced.

  • Invasive Alien Plants an Ecological Appraisal for the Indian Subcontinent
    Invasive Alien Plants An Ecological Appraisal for the Indian Subcontinent EDITED BY I.R. BHATT, J.S. SINGH, S.P. SINGH, R.S. TRIPATHI AND R.K. KOHL! 019eas Invasive Alien Plants An Ecological Appraisal for the Indian Subcontinent FSC ...wesc.org MIX Paper from responsible sources `FSC C013604 CABI INVASIVE SPECIES SERIES Invasive species are plants, animals or microorganisms not native to an ecosystem, whose introduction has threatened biodiversity, food security, health or economic development. Many ecosystems are affected by invasive species and they pose one of the biggest threats to biodiversity worldwide. Globalization through increased trade, transport, travel and tour- ism will inevitably increase the intentional or accidental introduction of organisms to new environments, and it is widely predicted that climate change will further increase the threat posed by invasive species. To help control and mitigate the effects of invasive species, scien- tists need access to information that not only provides an overview of and background to the field, but also keeps them up to date with the latest research findings. This series addresses all topics relating to invasive species, including biosecurity surveil- lance, mapping and modelling, economics of invasive species and species interactions in plant invasions. Aimed at researchers, upper-level students and policy makers, titles in the series provide international coverage of topics related to invasive species, including both a synthesis of facts and discussions of future research perspectives and possible solutions.
