Seaweed liquid fertilizers (SLFs) contain macronutrients, micronutrients and trace nutrients essential for microalgal growth. The study aims to evaluate the efficiency of SLFs on biomass production, biochemical physiological processes; was carried out at different SLF concentrations selected seaweeds i.e. Kappaphycus alvarezii, Gelidiella acerosa Turbinaria ornata. comparative analysis growth p...

The southern coast of Peru presents a wide diversity seaweed, which could be used as new sustainable source nutritional and bioactive compounds. For the first time, we chemically characterized two species brown (Macrocystis pyrifera) red (Chondracanthus chamissoi) Peruvian seaweed. Both contained significant amounts proteins (5–12%), lipids (0.16–0.74%), carbohydrates (43.29–62.65%) minerals (1...

The seaweed biofilter Ulva reticulata was grown at two stocking densities (1 and 3 kg m-2) in a low cost integrated system in Zanzibar, Tanzania. The seaweed was stocked in 2 m2 cages made of 1 inch netting material placed at the outflow of fish ponds. Control seaweed was grown at the fish pond inflow channel. At a stocking density of 3 kg m-2, the weight of the seaweed increased by 700 g (fw) ...

In July 2011, a Vibrio alginolyticus infection was diagnosed in a woman from Guernsey in the Channel Islands, British Isles after sea bathing and application of a natural seaweed dressing to a pre-existing leg wound. Microbiological investigation confirmed Vibrio in the wound and the species of seaweed used for the dressing. The washing of open wounds in seawater and use of unsterilised seaweed...

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES Abundant consumption of seaweeds in the diet is epidemiologically linked to the reduction in risk of developing cancer. In larger cases, however, identification of particular seaweeds that are accountable for these effects is still lacking, hindering the recognition of competent dietary-based chemo preventive approaches. The aim of this research was to establish the antipr...

BACKGROUND Located in the Dutch Windward Islands, Saba Bank is a flat-topped seamount (20-45 m deep in the shallower regions). The primary goals of the survey were to improve knowledge of biodiversity for one of the world's most significant, but little-known, seamounts and to increase basic data and analyses to promote the development of an improved management plan. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FIND...

Hepatitis C virus (HCV) has infected 3% of the population worldwide and 20% of the population in Egypt. HCV infection can lead to hepatocellular carcinoma and death. The presently available treatment with interferon plus ribavirin, has limited benefits due to adverse side effects. Seaweeds have become a major source of new compounds to treat viral diseases. This work aimed to study the effect o...

Eutrophication has become a serious environmental problem because of the excessive amounts nitrogen and phosphorus in water. Aquaculture waste is one drivers eutrophication. Seaweed known for its ability to remove nutrients from In Indonesia, research about efficiency seaweed decreasing nutrient concentration wastewater still rare. This article reviewed use as an adsorbent removal. review aims ...
