Impact of environmental conditions on biomass yield, quality, and bio-mitigation capacity of Saccharina latissima

Seaweeds are attractive as a sustainable aquaculture crop for food, feed, bioenergy and biomolecules. Further, the non-value ecosystem services of seaweed cultivation (i.e. nutrient recapture) are gaining interest as an instrument towards sustainable aquaculture and for fulfilling the aims of the EU...

description Seaweeds are attractive as a sustainable aquaculture crop for food, feed, bioenergy and biomolecules.
