Title Large scale Mariculture of Seaweeds - Need of the Hour
 
Creator Kaladharan, P
 
Subject Seaweed
 
Description Seaweeds are marine macroalgae consisting of taxonomically distinguished
groups of Chlorophyta (Green seaweeds), Phaeophyta (Brown seaweeds) and
Rhodophyta (Red seaweeds). They are generally found attached to rocks,
pebbles or other aquatic plants in the intertidal or subtidal regions of the sea.
Seaweeds are the natural source of phycocolloids such as agar-agar, algin and
carra2eenan. A number of tropical seaweeds including green algae (Ulva,
Enteromorpha, Monostroma, Caulerpa) brown seaweeds (Dictyota, Laminaria,
Cladosiphon, Padina) and red seaweed (Gracilaria, Porphyra, Eucheuma) are
eaten directly (sea vegetables) for their minerals, vitamins, proteins, essential
amino acids and low fat content.
