“…The FAO review examined 23 case studies of carrageenan seaweed farming production in six developing countries: Indonesia, Philippines, Tanzania, India (Tamil Nadu), Solomon Islands and Mexico (Yucatan (Muñoz et al, 2004). Despite the lack of commercial production, there continues to be an interest in the tropical Gulf of Mexico as a promising area for Kappaphycus farming development in Latin America (Hayashi et al, 2014).…”

“…Off-bottom and floating-lines systems were modeled based on the results from experimental trials conducted by the Center for Research and Advanced Studies of the National Polytechnic Institute (CINVESTAV -Unidad Mérida, for its acronym in Spanish) in the community of Dzilam de Bravo, Yucatan (Muñoz et al, 2004). Each system consisted of 10 × 20-m modules scaled up to one hectare.…”

& The farming of the red seaweed Kappaphycus alvarezii and related species as raw material for the hydrocolloid carrageenan rapidly spread from the Philippines in the late 1960s to Indonesia, Tanzania, and other tropical countries around the world. Although numerous studies have documented positive socioeconomic impacts for seaweed farming, factors such as diseases and distance to export markets have led to an uneven development of the industry. Using standard budgeting techniques, this study adapted production and market data from a FAO-led global review of seaweed farming to develop comparative enterprise budgets for eight farming systems in six countries (Indonesia, the Philippines, Tanzania, India, Solomon Islands, and Mexico). Although the basic technology package is the same across countries, the study revealed large differences in the economic performance of systems due to wide variations in farm prices and the scale of operations. Although seaweed farming is a suitable activity for small-scale producers, a minimum of 2,000 m of cultures lines are still necessary to ensure adequate economic returns. Greater farming plots may be needed if farm prices are well below the average farm prices paid in Indonesia and the Philippines. Policy recommendations are made to improve the economic potential of underperforming systems.

“…Coastal fisheries in Asia need relevant strategies to ensure future fish production and to improve the livelihoods or standard of living of coastal communities (Hurtado and Agbayani, 2002;Munoz et al, 2004;Stobutzki et al, 2006). A number of fishermen in Japan are aging steadily and decreased in every year.…”

Coastal resource management, community empowerment and socio economic development are the cornerstones for uplifting the lives of coastal area inhabitants. Japan is one of country who succeed to empowered economy of coastal community by diversify coastal and fisheries livelihoods. This study aims; to explore Japanese experiences on coastal resources management, to assess the fishing activity in case study area of Hiroshima, and to describe livelihood strategy in coastal fishery of case study area of Hiroshima. Primary data were collected from representatives of shrimp-trawl fishermen, and key informants using structured and semi-structured questionnaires. Secondary data such as statistical data and reports and books from previous studies were used as preliminary information. The data were analyzed by using descriptive analysis and qualitative contents analysis. The results of the study showed that Japan has many years' experiences to manage coastal fishery in effective and sustainable ways using community-based coastal fishery management and co-management approach. Meanwhile, Fisheries Cooperative Associations (FCAs) and Fisheries Management Organization (FMOs) are as institutional tools. In case study of coastal fishery activity, shrimp-trawl fishery in Akitsu has been manage by FCA, even the number of fishermen and their activity gradually decrease. However, the problems faced related to the sustainability of fishing activities in Akitsu is related to catch decreased, initial investment, regeneration of the fishing activities itself, and upwelling in the past. Increased a number of aging fishermen and no successors are another problems in sustainability of fisheries livelihoods. In fact, young people escape from the fishery communities to work in the cities and aging people remain in fishery community. This is occurred in shrimp-trawl fishery (Sokobikiami) in Akitsu. Therefore, local government as well as central government can expand the oyster culture by providing incentives or subsidies to attract young generation back to the area to pursue this business.

“…Praveen and K. Vijayraghavan, 2014 [20] studied highest metal ions affinity in aqueous solution as Pb>Cd >Cu >Ni by red algae Kappaphycus alvarezii. In brown seaweeds the cell wall is comprised of alginate and green & red algal cell wall is comprised of cellulose, carrageenans and agar [21] however the more research is required to study the potential of seaweeds in biosorption of metals Therefore the present study investigates the potential of green algae Caulerpa racemosa and Ulva lactuca (Chlorophyta) in the biosorption of Cr and Cu as they are the largest tropical green algae with fastest growth rate [22]. Although seaweeds possess different commercial applications such as in food industry due to high carbohydrate and protein content in aquaculture waste water treatment as they uptake potassium, phosphorus, nitrogen for their growth and survival, thus successfully cleanse the aquaculture waste water.…”
