Different Chondrus crispus Aquaculture Methods and Carrageenan Extraction

“…Chondrus crispus is a species, as demonstrated by this and previous works, that has slow initial development (SGR = 1.31%), but whose growth rate increases greatly later (SGR = 4.23) in the farming process. As suggested by Zertuche-González in 2001, in order to start the cultivation there is a need for low initial seaweed densities to be exposed to various controlled factors (such as temperature and nutrient availability) [57]. This idea was implemented in the study and resulted in the SGRs achieved.…”

“…We believe this study takes us one step closer to the definitive industrial-scale aquaculture method for this species. Establishing such a method would be important for the sector primarily because it allows for increased production variability for companies, increasing their competitiveness [57]. By introducing an edible species (such as C. crispus) with a rich biochemical and nutritional profile into seaweed aquaculture located in more temperate climates, we will allow these companies to not only increase available products but also to take advantage of this and create new market opportunities and/or new products.…”

“…On the other hand, seaweeds can be also exploited in aquaculture systems, being cultured at large scale mainly kelp (Undaria, Laminaria, Saccharina and Sacchoriza) (Kerrison et al 2015;Peteiro et al, 2016) and Sargassum species (Le et al, 2018;Liu et al, 2021); whereas in laboratory or pilot-scale are the Dictyota species (Bogaert et al, 2020), Fucus species (Meichssner et al, 2020), and Halopteris scoparia (Patarra et al, 2016). In the case of red algae has been cultivated commercially Chondrus crispus (Bidwell et al, 1985;Zertuche-González et al, 2001) and experimentally Halophytis incurva (Vega et al, 2020).…”
