Secondary attachment discs: a new alternative for restoring populations of Chondracanthus chamissoi (Gigartinales, Rhodophyta)

Abstract When facing the growing, international demand for the species Chondracanthus chamissoi as a source of carrageenan and for human food consumption, it is very important to generate new aquaculture techniques that allow for its repopulation, maximizing biomass yield whilst reducing the pressur...
