Deep-sea solution seeding hope for struggling but essential seaweed farming industry

Despite the administrative difficulties, Prof. Largo is in favor of efforts to concentrate on deeper water gardening. However, he added that a national focus should also be increased in jellyfish development and research.

Well, it’s bad news for the Philippines because we’re not really innovating with the right algae strains that can withstand the elements. But some scientists are truly significant. Those who are still intact are on the verge of retiring, he claimed.

And the rising temperatures haven’t actually subsided. We’re also conducting business as usual. It’s a really challenging factor to power, regardless of what we’re doing as scientists. You want to implement cutting-edge farming techniques.

Dr. Jayvee Saco of Batangas State University’s VIP Center for Oceanographic Research and Aquatic Life Sciences & nbsp is more upbeat about the ongoing research his team and others are conducting on seaweed strains with higher yields, greater resilience, and advantageous functions. & nbsp,

” I believe we need to close the gap between the producers and the findings of our knowledge, and we’re now it.” Additionally, the majority of farmers are quite open to the technology we are offering. Because, first and foremost, that is how they make a living, he said.

They continue to be among the poorest. Therefore, we must improve their ability to make enough money.

He claimed that the uses for seaweed and its by-products are numerous and frequently unappreciated. If Philippine producers can satisfy the demand, markets are prepared to get more exploited.

Dark seaweed extract known as carrageenan is an example of a common food antioxidant used in people’s daily lives all over the world.

” It can be found in ice cream, bread, cakes, sausages, beer, milk, napkins, diapers,” gel pens, and makeup ,” according to the article. It can be found anywhere. Therefore, using algae has a lot of possibility. How we can use them will determine how, according to Dr. Saco.
