Enteromorpha tested as shrimp feed ingredient
With vitamins, minerals, carotenoids and higher protein content than other species, Enteromorpha is a superior seaweed choice and a potential shrimp feed ingredient.

Turning to the sea: Can seaweed help us raise more food more efficiently?
Discussion of aquaculture development should consider trophic levels. Seaweed culture, for example, could possibly double plant food production by farming less than 1 percent of the ocean’s surface.

Seaweed products find varied commercial, medical applications
Seaweed products like extracts are ingredients in many beauty products and creams, and widely marketed as natural herbal and weight-reduction products.

Seaweed polyculture: Potential bioremediation of hatchery effluents
Authors are developing a freshwater hatchery effluent bioremediation system that uses seaweed polyculture to decrease discharge levels and reduce remediation costs.

Double duty: Seaweed provides both biofiltration, marketable product
Most seaweed species that function as biofilters for finfish aquaculture have little market value, so produced biomass remains a byproduct of biofiltration.

New ingredients for shrimp feeds, Part 2
"New" ingredients like seaweed meals, particularly from various kelp species, provide trace minerals and vitamin A, and increase the palatability of shrimp feeds.
Responsibility
Integrated fish-seaweed culture systems
The use of integrated mariculture systems incorporating seaweed biofilters addresses the impact of discharges, promoting more sustainable production.
