Seaweed Cultivation and Its Biobusiness Status Around the World

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Bioremediation using weeds

Part of the book series: Energy, Environment, and Sustainability ((ENENSU))

Abstract

Seaweeds or macroalgae, a highly useful and simple type of plants, lack true roots, stems and leaves. Heavy loads on numerous usual resources impose the development of substitute sources to produce significant goods such as food, food additives, feed, fuel, maquillages, and antibiotics. The improvement of large-scale seaweed aquaculture has the prospective to play a significant role in meeting future resource needs. The seaweed is an important character of culture and society
