“…Seaweed biomass produced with aquaculture effluents can contain twofold-fourfold more protein than that of wild seaweed cultures (Neori & Shpigel 1999), improving the seaweed quality as a food product. Moreover, through metabolic manipulation within the IMTA concept, important ingredients such as the algal carbohydrate content can be enhanced (Lahaye et al 1995;Korzen et al 2016) and then be utilized for biofuel production (Bikker et al 2016;Jiang et al 2016).…”

Marine aquaculture is undeniably a key future direction for the production of food. However, traditional aquaculture involves some significant drawbacks, the major one of which is the surplus discharge of organic matter and dissolved nutrients. To mitigate the environmental impact, integrated multi‐trophic aquaculture (IMTA) systems, which advocate the integration of fed fish with inorganic and organic extractive species, may offer a sustainable solution. This study focuses on an innovative experimental setting, integrating three marine macroalgae species (Ulva rigida, Gracilaria conferta, Hypnea musciformis) serially connected via two‐stage seaweed culture tanks to a finfish culture (the gilthead sea bream; Sparus aurata). The aim was to compare and assess the biofiltration and growth performances of the seaweeds, while altering their order in the two‐stage system. The results indicated U. rigida as the fastest growing species. Ulva rigida also displayed the highest total ammonia nitrogen (TAN) uptake rates and removal efficiency. The design allowed the production of high tissue protein and carbohydrate levels for potential biorefinery uses. Ulva rigida protein content averaged 23%, while that of H. musciformis and G. conferta averaged 25% and 18%, respectively. Hypnea musciformis and G. conferta grown under low nutrient conditions presented a significantly higher total carbohydrate content of nearly 50%, compared to 34% exhibited by U. rigida. In summary, the seaweed pairing in a two‐stage system did not inhibit the performance of each individual species and improved overall production. Consequently, it offers significant advantages for future IMTA systems.

“…Micro-algae are single-cell photosynthetic organisms that generate biomass thanks to solar light and inorganic nutrients [17]. Macro-algae are a series of multi-cellular, macroscopic, non-phylogenetic and eukaryotic organisms [18]. Micro-algae are divided in four main classes: diatoms, green algae, bluegreen algae and golden algae, while macro-algae are classified into brown, red and green seaweed [19].…”

An energy transition towards renewable sources is fundamental to reach the goals established by the Paris Agreement. In recent years, marine renewable energies (MREs) are emerging as possible solutions to face the de-carbonization process. The Mediterranean area can be a hotspot for the development of Blue Energy. Understanding what Blue Energy is and which MREs could be involved in energy production processes is fundamental. In this paper, MREs will be investigated through a categorization and summarization of the more interesting existing case studies presented. The results of this investigation will be illustrated by means of a representative Web-GIS map, with the aim of showing the location of the main marine technologies in the Mediterranean area.

“…Seaweed also brings another benefit, i.e. as the source of biodiesel and bioenergy (Bruhn et al, 2011;Borines, de Leon & Cuello, 2013;Jaap et al, 2014;Bharathiraja et al, 2015;Ghadiryanfar, Rosentrater, Keyhani & Omid, 2016;Jiang, Ingle & Golberg, 2016). According to the result of the study, seaweeds of high economic value and is potential to be cultivated in Indonesian water as producers are among others Gracilaria as agarophyte producer, Eucheuma and Kappaphycus as carraginophyte producers, and Sargassum and Turbinaria as alginophyte producers (DoMF Sulteng, 2009).…”

Seaweed is a promising fishery product. Potential aquaculture of which in Lampung Province is estimated around 2260.5 ha. Several seaweed farming efforts have been carried out in Lampung Bay (Indonesia). However, they faced failure. Therefore, it is necessary to carry out spatial analysis to understand the level of seaweed farming suitability in the bay. This study was carried out in five observation site groups with total 20 sampling points and employed survey through spatial and temporal approaches as the study method. Geo-statistical model was used for earth surface mapping, both for biotic and abiotic components. Each station was then be given value to determine suitability class. The class was determined by making aquatic suitability matrix for each physical, chemical and biological parameter. Results acquired indicate that Lampung Bay area is not suitable as seaweed farming site. However the area is open for any suggestion.
