“…Environmental and biotic stressors can negatively affect the growth and productivity of macroalgae including aquacultured seaweeds [20]. The sources of these stressors vary from marine pollution [21,22], disease outbreaks [23][24][25], epiphytic infestation, algal parasites [25], periodic storms [26], and global warming [23]. Rising sea-levels due to global warming may cause shifts in shoreline morphology, with the subsequent effect of lowered productivity output through changes in seaweed distributional patterns [20].…”

This systematic review aimed to synthesise the existing studies regarding the effects of ocean acidification (OA) on seaweed aquaculture. Ocean acidification scenarios may increase the productivity of aquacultured seaweeds, but this depends on species-specific tolerance ranges. Conversely, seaweed productivity may be reduced, with ensuing economic losses. We specifically addressed questions on: how aquacultured seaweeds acclimatise with an increase in oceanic CO2; the effects of OA on photosynthetic rates and nutrient uptake; and the knowledge gaps in mitigation measures for seaweed farming in OA environments. Articles were searched by using Google Scholar, followed by Scopus and Web of Science databases, limiting the publications from 2001 to 2022. Our review revealed that, among all the OA-related studies on macroalgae, only a relatively small proportion (n < 85) have examined the physiological responses of aquacultured seaweeds. However, it is generally agreed that these seaweeds cannot acclimatise when critical biological systems are compromised. The existing knowledge gaps regarding mitigation approaches are unbalanced and have overly focused on monitoring and cultivation methods. Future work should emphasise effective and implementable actions against OA while linking the physiological changes of aquacultured seaweeds with production costs and profits.

“…Overall, our study sites in Tanjung Lompat had a higher number of species (31 species) per sites, followed by Telok Gorek (nine species) and Pantai Pasir Lanun (eight species). Pulau Mawar had the lowest number of species, five species ( Zainee and Rozaimi 2020 ). Our findings presented significant changes in species composition due to the effects of the monsoon event.…”

“…These events will not only pull away the early coloniser, fleshy and delicate macroalgal (such as Chaetomorpa spp. ), but also affect the climax macroalgal community that have strongly-attached holdfasts, such as Sargassum ( Zainee and Rozaimi 2020 ). Once the actual disturbance event is finished, the succession process begins and favours those that are opportunistic in nature (e.g.…”

The effects of small-scale disturbances, such as monsoon, are understudied in tropical regions. The storms associated with monsoon events not only modify the local macroalgal community structure, but also reveal the continuation of short-term recolonisation. Thus, this study aims to determine the variation in species, assemblage and cover of macroalgae during the monsoonal cycle from 2015 to 2016. This paper presents data on the spatial and temporal distribution of benthic macroalgae along the coastline of Johor, Malaysia. The information is presented as raw and partially-processed data, which summarises the cover and frequency of macroalgae at the respective study sites. This paper describes an important set of data that can be used further for in-situ experiments on the effects of environmental disturbances towards pioneer and climax species in tropical areas. This study provides a description of the east coast shore of Peninsular Malaysia, specifically in Johor coast in 2015-2016. The spatial and temporal distribution and abundance of a total of 41 taxa were assessed at four monsoon-exposed locations. These data provide a comprehensive baseline against disturbance and recolonisation of macroalgal community can be effectively and objectively evaluated.

“…They are high in nutritional values such as fatty acids, proteins, vitamins, minerals, and fibres, besides palatable as it has a pleasant umami taste [ 3 ]. The chemical composition of seaweed changes depending on species, maturity, habitat light intensity, salinity, temperature, and environments [ 4 , 5 , 6 ]. These aquatic macroalgae are categorised into three classes based on their predominant pigmentation: brown (Phaeophyceae), green (Chlorophyceae), and red (Rhodophyceae) seaweed [ 7 ].…”

Fucoxanthin is an algae-specific xanthophyll of aquatic carotenoid. It is prevalent in brown seaweed because it functions as a light-harvesting complex for algal photosynthesis and photoprotection. Its exceptional chemical structure exhibits numerous biological activities that benefit human health. Due to these valuable properties, fucoxanthin’s potential as a potent source for functional food, feed, and medicine is being explored extensively today. This article has thoroughly reviewed the availability and biosynthesis of fucoxanthin in the brown seaweed, as well as the mechanism behind it. We included the literature findings concerning the beneficial bioactivities of fucoxanthin such as antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-obesity, antidiabetic, anticancer, and other potential activities. Last, an additional view on its potential as a functional food ingredient has been discussed to facilitate a broader application of fucoxanthin as a promising bioactive compound.
