Abstract Background The sugar kelp Saccharina latissima is a Laminariales species widely
distributed in the Northern Hemisphere. Its physiology and ecology have been studied since …

The sugar kelp Saccharina latissima has received intense scientific attention over the last
decades. In recent years, interest in cultivation of the species has strongly increased in the …

Seaweed farming is expanding in Europe and may provide environmental benefits similar to
those from natural kelp forests and shellfish farms, including habitat provisioning. Few …

Seaweed cultivation, including kelp species, is rapidly expanding in many regions. A widely
assumed co-benefit of seaweed farming is increased local carbon sequestration rates …

The co-cultivation of seaweed alongside shellfish has the potential to regulate local
dissolved nutrient concentrations and consequently affect plankton dynamics. Evidence for …

The brown algal genus Fucus provides essential ecosystem services crucial for marine
environments. Macroalgae (seaweeds) release dissolved organic matter, hence, are under …

Low trophic aquaculture, including shellfish and seaweed farming, offers a potentially
sustainable food source and may provide additional environmental benefits, including the …

The marine snail Lacuna vincta is a generalist mesograzer that is fouling kelp farms in the
northern Atlantic. Often found on the blades of naturally occuring kelp, L. vincta's larval …

Seaweed farming is a rapidly growing global industry, driven by increasing demand for
biomass with a range of commercial applications. A major barrier limiting expansion of the …

Marine macroalgae (seaweeds) are key components of marine ecosystems with vital roles in
costal habitats. As they release dissolved organic matter and other molecules, seaweeds …
