Description Global aquatic plant production in 2016 was
30.1 million tonnes valued at USD 231.6 billion.
Seaweeds were the most farmed aquatic plants, with
a much smaller production volume also obtained
from microalgae. Seaweeds are macrophytic algae;
a primitive type of plant, lacking true roots, stem,
leaves and generally growing in the shallow waters.
Rapid expansion in farming of tropical species of
seaweeds (Kappaphycus alvarezii and Eucheuma
spp.) has taken place in countries such as China and
Indonesia. Recently, attention is being increasingly
focused on the nutritional value of several seaweed
species, because of their high protein, vitamin and
mineral content.
