Synopsis (short abstract) Seven case studies are presented on commercial seaweed resources; five on wild crops, respectively Ascophyllum nodosum, Chondrus crispus, Gelidium, Laminaria longicruris and Macrocystis , are provided along with case studies of the farmed crops of Eucheuma and Laminaria japonica . Individually the cases range from descriptions of the wild crops and their management to the managed production of farmed crops including, in several examples, some information on economics and/or processing. These ini tial seven cases range from those emphasizing but one species from but one part of one country, to studies of a genus as it occurs commercially throughout the world.

    The publication describes the production, properties and main applications of the three major phyco-colloids extracted from seaweed: agar, alginate and carrageenan. There is also a supplementary chapter on the preparation and marketing of seaweeds as food. Although this is based mainly as Japanese experience it is included in order to encourage increased consumption of seaweeds as human food. The authors of the three phyco-colloid chapters have considered raw material sources, post-harvest tr eatment, methods of extraction, chemical composition of the colloids, evaluation of quality, and uses, with some details of economics and marketing.
