Summary: This study evaluated the best conditions for maintaining C. chamissoi through the formation of secondary attachment discs (SADs) using scallop shells in five localities in Peru. The results showed that the best conditions included the use of fertilized seawater with Bayfolan and regular medium exchange. Most localities had a similar capacity for SAD formation, with vegetative algae showing a higher number of SADs compared to other types.

Summary: In this study, the productivity of an outdoor cultivation system using secondary attachment discs (SADs) of Chondracanthus chamissoi was evaluated. It was found that utilizing fiberglass as the substrate was the most suitable choice, as it increased the survival rate of SADs and improved the growth of seaweeds within the tanks.

Summary: Seaweed exploitation in Chile has increased in recent decades, leading to a decline in seaweed landings and overharvesting of natural beds. To address this issue, ecological baselines for sustainable exploitation and the development of seaweed aquaculture have been implemented. Experimental cultivation of the commercial red seaweed Chondracanthus chamissoi has shown growth under different treatments, with variations in biomass yields and the length of new thalli observed across seasons.

Summary: To address the growing demand for seaweed in a sustainable manner, an interdisciplinary research study investigated the feasibility of scaling up seaweed aquaculture in Ireland. The study identified the responsibilities of emerging enterprises in relation to the natural environment, rural coastal communities, local actors, and customers. The study also highlighted the uncertainties and bottlenecks faced by seaweed cultivation, including site selection, licensing, seed supply, timing, and processing. The findings contribute to a comprehensive understanding of macroalgal cultivation and can guide decision-making for growers, certification bodies, and policymakers.

Summary: The study investigated the feasibility of strain selection using tetraspore and carpospore progeny from wild fronds of Chondracanthus teedei to obtain strains with specific characteristics like high growth rates, temperature tolerance, and high yield of native carrageenan. A total of 34 strains were isolated, showing heterogeneity in morphology, growth rate, and response to temperature among other traits. Most strains exhibited optimal growth rates at 25 degrees Celsius, with some strains performing best at extreme temperatures. Combining different strains in various seasons could lead to greater stability in biomass production and carrageenan yield.

Summary: The red seaweed Chondracanthus chamissoi originally had three species based on blade width, but later were classified as a single species with two morphological groups. Recent studies have shown the existence of two forms in C. chamissoi: f. lessonii and f. chauvinii, which grow sympatrically.

Summary: Colombia has a rich diversity of marine ecosystems in its coastal and island areas. Research on seaweed has primarily focused on identifying and categorizing the 628 known species, mainly in the Caribbean Sea. Despite this diversity, Colombia lags behind other Latin American and global countries in seaweed exploitation. Therefore, there is a need for increased research, technological appropriation, and effective public policies to boost the seaweed industry and support Colombia's transition towards a blue economy.

Summary: The study of pollution effects in the marine environment has become increasingly important in recent decades, with a focus on the impact of exposure to multiple pollutants. Research shows that Macrocystis pyrifera exposed to a mixture of heavy metals and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons experienced negative effects on growth and morphology. Additionally, the associated community structure, including M. pyrifera grazers, also suffered from low richness and diversity due to the pollution pulse.

Summary: Several seaweed species are widely commercialized globally due to their demand in food, feed, and the extraction of phycocolloids. Chile is the leading producer, but overexploitation has caused a decrease in natural stocks. Various strategies have been implemented to restore seaweed stocks, with varying success rates. However, technological improvements are needed to develop cost-effective restocking strategies that are scalable, transferable, and socio-ecologically sustainable.

Summary: This study investigated the transfer of fatty acids from broodstock diets to eggs and the time needed for the eggs to equilibrate to the diet in Southern flounder. The findings indicate that different diet treatments significantly affect the fatty acid composition of eggs, and it takes 8-16 weeks for the eggs to adapt to changes in the adult diet. These results are important for improving broodstock diets and feeding protocols in stock-enhancement programs.
