Seaweed is lifted out of the top of an algae scrubber/cultivator, to be discarded or used as food, fertilizer, or skin care. Alginates are used in industrial products such as paper coatings, adhesives, dyes, gels, explosives and in processes such as paper sizing, textile printing, hydro-mulching and drilling.
The brown algae include the largest and fastest growing of seaweeds. [6] Fronds of Macrocystis may grow as much as 50 cm (20 in) per day, and the stipes can grow 6 cm (2.4 in) in a single day. [13] Growth in most brown algae occurs at the tips of structures as a result of divisions in a single apical cell or in a row of such
Dulse, a type of edible seaweed. Algae are used as foods in many countries: China consumes more than 70 species, including fat choy, a cyanobacterium considered a vegetable; [citation needed] Japan, over 20 species such as nori and aonori; [119] Ireland, dulse; Chile, cochayuyo. [120] Laver is used to make laverbread in Wales, where it is known ...
A giant "blob" of sargassum seaweed measuring 5,000 miles wide — twice the width of the continental United States — is headed for the Florida coast and already covering beaches with algae that ...
A biologist holds clumps of dulse seaweed grown by Cascadia Seaweed in British Columbia, Canada. The company is cultivating the algae for use as a feed additive and biostimulant in agriculture ...
Asparagopsis taxiformis (red sea plume or limu kohu), formerly A. sanfordiana, [1] is a species of red algae, with cosmopolitan distribution in tropical to warm temperate waters. [2] Researchers have demonstrated that feeding ruminants a diet containing 0.2% A. taxiformis seaweed reduced their methane emissions by nearly 99 percent. [3]

Pyropia is a genus of red algae in the family Bangiaceae. It is found around the world in intertidal zones and shallow water. The genus has folding frond-like blades which are either red, brown or green. Some Pyropia species are used to create nori, and are thus important subjects for aquaculture.
