HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE
Chile: • 12 100 BC – food and medicine
Japan: • Since first historical records used as food • 17th Century – used as “currency” for tax payment • 18th century – First “cultivation” of Porphyra sp. (=nori).
Europe: • Fertilizers, food for cattle, fuel for heating • 19th century – source of Iodine • 20th and 21st centuries – Phycocolloids

Seaweed Aquaculture Systems - Comparison
Carried out in open water OR in land/ on shore (in tanks)
- More extensive - Typically less costs - Less control - Not adequate for all seaweed sizes and morphologies
- Smaller scales - More intensive - Typically highers costs - Higher control - Adequate for smaller seaweed sizes
![Page 21: Algae production systems: characteristics and benefits production systems.pdf• Food and shelter for marine animals . BASIC NOTIONS Phylum: Rhodophyta 6000 spp Alginates, Fucoidan](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051605/600b40cffed74703cb0b393b/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Seaweed Aquaculture Systems - Comparison
Carried out in open water OR in land/ on shore (in tanks)
+ More extensive = higher
production capacity and at lower prices compared to in land systems
- Limited used of species with
current technologies (typically for large species such as kelp, also used for some species of red Seaweed)
- Typically highers costs/kg
+ Higher control = higher
yields of pigment
+ Adequate to explore many
more species from the three groups
