4. Conclusion
Almost all tropical production is based on the cultivation of a few species of red algae (Eucheuma spp., Kappaphycus alvarezii, Gracilaria spp.) for the colloid industry (carrageenan and agar), and accounts for over half (55%) of global marine macroalgal production. Due to the high demand for carrageenan, the low level of technology required and the low cost of setting up new farms , carrageenan production has spread rapidly throughout the tropical Indo-Pacific region and the Atlantic, generating substantial socio-economic benefits...
