Subject Seaweed
 
Description Seaweeds are macroscopic algae, which
form an important component of the marine
living resource. They are available largely in
shallow coastal waters wherever there is a substratum
on which they can grow and flourish.
Based on their pigmentation, the seaweeds are
broadly grouped into green, brown, red and
blue-green algae. They are harvested by man
for centuries, particularly in Japan and China,
where they form a part of the staple diet. The
uses of seaweeds as food, fodder and manure
are well known in many countries. Marine algae
contain more than 60 trace elements in a
concentration much higher than in terrestrial
plants. They also contain protein, iodine,
bromine, vitamins and substances of stimulatory
and antibiotic nature.
