Title Prospects of seaweed research and utilization
 
Creator Silas, E G
 
Subject Seaweed
 
Description Considerable work has been carried out
on various aspects of Indian seaweeds. Owing
to the utilisation of seaweeds in India for
commercial production of agar and algin,
the research on seaweeds has attained a new
impetus. The assessment of available seaweed
resource in India has been necessitated by
more and more algin and agar industries coming
up in the recent years. Survey of the
seaweed resources on the coasts of Tamil
Nadu, Goa, Maharashtra, Gujarat and Lakshadweep
has been completed and the estimates
of standing crop of these areas are available.
The seaweed survey of Andhra Pradesh coast
has been done recently. The resources survey
on the rest of the Indian coastline and
of Andaman-Nicobar Islands has to be
undertaken to estimate the total standing crop
and, in particular, the harvestable quantities
of agarophytes and alginophytes.
