Seaweed Utilization

Carbon dioxide utilization and seaweed production

Stronger growth in many plants stimulated by increased CO2 concentration should lead to greater biological productivity with an expected increase in the photosynthetic storage of carbon. Thus, the biosphere will serve as a sink for CO2, though it will also act as a source too, because of respiration. Normally net photosynthesis dominates in summer and removes CO2 from the atmosphere, whereas re...

Utilization of seaweed Sargassum myriocystum extracts as a stimulant of seedlings of Vigna mungo (L.) Hepper

The effect of seaweed liquid fertilizer (SLF) of Sargassum myriocystum on germination, growth and biochemical constituents of Vigna mungo was studied. Different concentrations (5%, 10%, 25%, 50% and 75%) of SLF were prepared using distilled water. A total of 100 seeds were soaked for each SLF concentration for a 24-h period and were later placed in various Petri plates and watered regularly. Wa...

Seaweed and Man

Despite an Asian aquaculture tradition of many centuries, aquatic farming on the global scale is still a young sector of food production that has grown rapidly in the last 50 years. Seaweeds, a colloquial but widely used term for macroalgae, play an important role in this business which remains a growing, vibrant, and important production sector for healthy human food. As archaeological investi...
