A bioeconomic analysis of the potential of seaweed Hypnea pseudomusciformis farming to different targeted markets

Abstract: Simulations were performed to evaluate the economic potential of farming the seaweed Hypnea pseudomusciformis in two production scales for the carrageenan, human food, and glycolic extract markets in Brazil. The initial investment was low in all scenarios (US$25,579 in 7.5 ha and US$71,202 in 22.5 ha farms). Labor and taxes were the major production costs for production commercialized for the carrageenan and human food markets, respectively. Liquid glycerin and bottles were the main costs when the productions … Show more

“…In Central Sulawesi, the investment value was similar, and relatively low, for all ownership categories. Despite these variations, the investments made by seaweed farmers in their seaweed cultivation business can be considered low for all categories and across all sites and provinces, in line with the results of previous research (Pereira et al, 2020) that investment in seaweed cultivation tends to be low under all scenarios.…”

“…Marine brown seaweeds have been recognized as a traditional food widely consumed in Asian countries, including Korea, Japan, and China (Pereira et al, 2020). Recently, marine natural products have received great attention in the functional food, Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences nutraceutical, and cosmeceutical fields due to their antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties (Nguyen et al, 2020).…”

“…Other studies have shown that Kappaphycus alvarezii and Sargassum vulgare were able to acclimatise in low-pH conditions (pH 6 and pH 6.7, respectively) [74], while M. pyrifera exhibited no changes in growth and photosynthetic rates under elevated oceanic CO 2 because it has the ability to utilise both CO 2 and HCO 3− [91]. Other economically important seaweeds such as Hypnea pseudomusciformis, Porphyra yezoensis, Gracilaria chilensis, G. changii, and G. lemaneiformis exhibited increased growth rates with an increase in dissolved CO 2 concentrations [4,46,81,106,117,143,144]. Hence, the growth of seaweeds partly depends on their HCO 3− uptake and utilisation capacity [96], and the impact on their photosynthetic rate is generally species-specific [27].…”
