Description The seaweed Gracilaria edulis is a fast
growing agarophyte and its distribution is confined
to Tamil Nadu, Andaman-Nicobar islands,
Lakshadweep group of islands and Chilka lake
along the Indian Coast. In Lakshadweep, it has
been reported growing abundantly in the islands
of Agatti, Kavaratti, Kalpeni and Kadamath while
in Minicoy it was totally absent till recently. In
1990 this seaweed was transported from
Mandapam (Gulf of Mannar) and Kavaratti
islands (Lakshadweep) to study the feasibility of
its establishment and colonizing in the lagoon in
Minicoy.
