Seaweeds, or macroalgae, are marine thalli that contribute to half of Earth's primary production and are used in various industries like food, feed, and fertilizer (Mohammad et al., 2019). They are rich in minerals, fiber, protein, vitamins, and bioactive compounds, making them a nutrient-dense, low-calorie superfood (Shama et al., 2019). As sustainability and health concerns grow, there is an increasing interest in developing seaweed farms in Western nations (Wells et al., 2017; Blikra et al., 2019). Seaweeds, valuable marine plants, are gaining popularity due to their abundant minerals, fiber, protein, and vitamins. Seaweeds are a low-fat, low-calorie superfood with numerous health benefits, including antibacterial, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer, and anti-obesity characteristics (Kang et al., 2020; El-Sheekh et al., 2024). They contain natural secondary chemicals with similar protein levels to those from traditional sources (Bleakley and Hayes 2017). While seaweeds have many health advantages, there are also hazards, such as infections, poisoning, heavy metal accumulation, and pesticide residues. Van der Spiegel et al. (2013) found that they are vulnerable to pesticides and
