  • Ethnobiology of Georgia
    SHOTA TUSTAVELI ZAAL KIKVIDZE NATIONAL SCIENCE FUNDATION ILIA STATE UNIVERSITY PRESS ETHNOBIOLOGY OF GEORGIA ISBN 978-9941-18-350-8 Tbilisi 2020 Ethnobiology of Georgia 2020 Zaal Kikvidze Preface My full-time dedication to ethnobiology started in 2012, since when it has never failed to fascinate me. Ethnobiology is a relatively young science with many blank areas still in its landscape, which is, perhaps, good motivation to write a synthetic text aimed at bridging the existing gaps. At this stage, however, an exhaustive representation of materials relevant to the ethnobiology of Georgia would be an insurmountable task for one author. My goal, rather, is to provide students and researchers with an introduction to my country’s ethnobiology. This book, therefore, is about the key traditions that have developed over a long history of interactions between humans and nature in Georgia, as documented by modern ethnobiologists. Acknowledgements: I am grateful to my colleagues – Rainer Bussmann, Narel Paniagua Zambrana, David Kikodze and Shalva Sikharulidze for the exciting and fruitful discussions about ethnobiology, and their encouragement for pushing forth this project. Rainer Bussmann read the early draft of this text and I am grateful for his valuable comments. Special thanks are due to Jana Ekhvaia, for her crucial contribution as project coordinator and I greatly appreciate the constant support from the staff and administration of Ilia State University. Finally, I am indebted to my fairy wordmother, Kate Hughes whose help was indispensable at the later stages of preparation of this manuscript. 2 Table of contents Preface.......................................................................................................................................................... 2 Chapter 1.

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.

  • Edible Seaweeds Ilknur Babahan, Birsen Kirim and Hamideh Mehr
    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].
