16 results about "Seaweed farming" patented technology

Seaweed farming is the practice of cultivating and harvesting seaweed. In its simplest form, it consists of the management of naturally found batches. In its most advanced form, it consists of fully controlling the life cycle of the algae. The main food species grown by aquaculture in Japan, China and Korea include Gelidium, Pterocladia, Porphyra, and Laminaria. Seaweed farming has frequently been developed as an alternative to improve economic conditions and to reduce fishing pressure and overexploited fisheries. Seaweeds have been harvested throughout the world as a food source as well as an export commodity for production of agar and carrageenan products.

This invention discloses a red tide control method based on year-round cultivation of Gracilaria fusiforme, belonging to the field of red tide control. The method includes: selecting sea areas requiring prevention or restriction of red tide outbreaks, or adjacent sea areas, as cultivation zones; using heat-resistant and rapidly growing Gracilaria fusiforme seedlings; and implementing a year-round multi-crop rotation cultivation system centered on seedling introduction from April to September to ensure that Gracilaria fusiforme is in its vigorous growth period during the peak red tide season in summer, continuously absorbing nutrients such as nitrogen and phosphorus from the water, thus achieving dynamic regulation of nutrient levels in the sea area and suppressing red tide occurrences at the source. This invention, through year-round multi-crop rotation cultivation, precisely covers the peak red tide season in summer, breaking through the bottleneck of the misalignment between traditional seaweed cultivation and red tide control. Simultaneously, as an economically valuable seaweed, Gracilaria fusiforme can create significant socio-economic benefits during ecological restoration, forming a long-term mechanism that synergizes environmental, ecological, and economic benefits, providing an efficient, environmentally friendly, and economically valuable innovative solution for red tide control.
