Underwater Eucheuma farming in the Philippines A seaweed farmer in Nusa Lembongan (Indonesia) gathers edible seaweed that has grown on a rope. Seaweed farming or kelp farming is the practice of cultivating and harvesting seaweed. In its simplest form farmers gather from natural beds, while at the other extreme farmers fully control the crop's ...
The biggest item by volume was seaweed, which made up 65.8% of aquaculture production. This created a value of PhP 16,60 billion, less than some other fishery products due to seaweed having a lower value per unit weight. The largest environment for aquaculture aside from seaweed farms was brackish ponds, followed by freshwater ponds and marine ...
Eucheuma, commonly known as sea moss or gusô (/ ɡ u ˈ s ɔː ʔ /), is a rhodophyte seaweed that may vary in color (purple, brown, and green). Eucheuma species are used in the production of carrageenan, an ingredient for cosmetics, food processing, and industrial manufacturing, as well as a food source for people in the Philippines, Caribbean and parts of Indonesia and Malaysia.

This seaweed is one of the favored species of edible Caulerpa due to its soft and succulent texture. It is traditionally eaten in the cuisines of Southeast Asia, Oceania, and East Asia. It was first commercially cultivated in the Philippines in the 1950s, followed by Japan in 1968.
Growing seaweed offshore with the purpose of sinking the seaweed in the depths of the sea to sequester carbon has been suggested. [41] In addition, seaweed grows very fast and can theoretically be harvested and processed to generate biomethane, via anaerobic digestion to generate electricity, via cogeneration/CHP or as a replacement for natural ...
Many Pacific countries such as Japan, Philippines, Vietnam, and Samoa use the off-bottom method, where the seaweeds are grown a few meters above the ground on cages or trays. [24] The bottom-planting method is also used in the Philippines, and involves growing the Caulerpa on a substrate. [ 25 ]
Fishery production is a growing component of the economy. While a greater volume of product is imported than exported, the value of exported products is higher, both in total and per unit weight. [25]: 90–91 [12]: 106 Canned tuna makes up the majority of tuna exports, while carrageenan makes up 94% of seaweed exports.
