Description Seaweeds are a valuable trade commodity which finds use in
food processing, pharmaceutical and wellness sectors, due
to the products such as agar, algin and carrageenan that
can be extracted from them. Reports from FAO suggest that
global trade in seaweed and related products is expected to
be around 26 million US$ by 2025. Considering the potential
for seaweed farming in India, the Union Government has
promoted farming, training and creation of infrastructure
for the same through the Pradhan Mantri Matsya Sampada
Yojana. The two articles on seaweeds presented in this issue
of MFIS report significant findings during the lab and field
experiments related to seaweed culture. Other articles included
are that of batoid diversity in the elasmobranch landings
that document important observations of this diverse and
little documented group from Indian EEZ, as well as notes
on dealing with fish health, marine biodiversity and other
interesting information collected by the researchers.
