- They are multicellular organisms and generally bushy plants formed by blunted blades, often irregularly branched. Some kelps can grow up to 60metres long and the most abundant species of algae is seaweed. The different species come in various shades of yellow-green-brown and often tints of iridescent.The pigment Fucoxanthin gives brown algae various shades or brown-yellow, creamy brown, green-brown to dark brown.REEN ALGAE. The most abundant and commonly recognised algae on tropical reefs is the green algae. There are many species and most are calcareous, contributing a large amount of calcium carbonate to the reef building process. These plants form the base of the ocean food chain by carrying out photosynthesis.

What is Seaweed? Seaweed has many uses for different types of products around the world. One of the major uses is for food, as it can be quite rich in nutrients, vitamins and minerals. People living on coasts use it to make noodles, bread, drinks and more. Another popular use is when dried sheets are used to wrap sushi.ome forms of seaweed look like long strands and branches. Some types of seaweed, like kelp, look like sheets. A nutrient-rich microorganism typically found in oceans and seas, seaweed has long served as a food for some populations.

- The Colors of Seaweeds. There are three great families of seaweeds, the red, the brown, and the green. When we look at seaweeds, one of the first things that we notice is their color. Some are a bright, light green. Some are a dark brown.

- Kelp and other seaweeds—macroalgae that grow wherever land and ocean meet—are a safe and very healthy addition to your diet unless they are contaminated by sewage or industrial, agricultural, or radioactive wastes. For millennia, after all, coastal peoples all over the globe have survived and thrived on them.

- Each type of seaweed is rich in its own unique set of nutrients: 1  Nori seaweed has the highest amount of protein compared to the other types. 2  Wakame has the highest amount of calcium. 3  Sea Lettuce is very high in iron.

Seaweed Seaweed is a colloquial term and lacks a formal definition. A seaweed may belong to one of several groups of multicellular algae: the red algae, green algae, and brown algae. As these three groups do not have a common multicellular ancestor, the seaweed are in a polyphyletic group.

- Wakame seaweed is a good source of vitamin A. Kelp and other types of seaweed contain measurable amounts of vitamins C, E and K, as well as niacin, folate and choline.ulse is also a source of potassium, and all seaweeds provide magnesium, iron and zinc among other minerals. Kelp is a good source of calcium, offering 17 percent of daily needs in one cup.

- Japanese Sun-Dried Seaweed. Mitoku Hidaka Kombu. In the cold seas off Hokkaido, Japan's northernmost island, a brown algae known as kombu or kelp, grows in a dense underwater forest. Floating on the water in small skiffs, men and women cut the kombu free using razor-sharp knives that are attached to long bamboo poles. As the kombu floats to the surface it is gathered with wooden rakes and placed in the boats.

Military rank Within modern armed forces, the use of ranks is almost universal. Communist states have sometimes abolished rank (e.g., the Soviet Red Army 1918–1935, the Chinese People's Liberation Army 1965–1988, and the Albanian Army 1966–1991), only to re-establish them after encountering operational difficulties of command and control.

- The problem is not that it's a problem to know the English system or the metric system or both. The problem is that when it comes to everyday applications, most people know neither, but resort to natural measurements or reckoning.. The metric/english argument is usually only a smokescreen.

Seagrasses There are about 50 species of true seagrasses worldwide that are found within the plant families Posidoniaceae, Zosteraceae, Hydrocharitaceae, and Cymodoceaceae. Seagrasses are sometimes found in patches, but these patches can expand to form huge seagrass beds, or meadows.eagrasses may be confused with seaweeds (marine algae), but they are not. Seagrasses are vascular plants and reproduce by flowering and producing seeds. Marine algae are classified as protists (which also includes protozoans, prokaryotes, fungi and sponges), are relatively simple and reproduce using spores.

Definitions &Translations Seaweed is a loose colloquial term encompassing macroscopic, multicellular, benthic marine algae. The term includes some members of the red, brown and green algae. They are photosynthetic, like plants, and simple because they lack the many distinct organs found in land plants.

- Seaweed is truly one of the sea's best gifts. It has been used as food, medicine, fertilizer and as raw material in production of industrial phycocolloids such as Carrageenan, Agar, and Alginate. The Philippines, being surrounded by the Pacific Ocean in the East, South China Sea in the West, and Celebes and Sulu Sea in the South, is one of the world s top seaweed producing countries. Thus, farming of seaweeds is one of the most productive forms of livelihood benefiting thousands of coastal inhabitants in the country today. Marcel Carrageenan from its early years has been extensively involved in Philippine seaweed farming activities. Having a large network of farmers that expands the entire country, Marcel is now one of the largest exporters of Carrageenan bearing seaweed worldwide Eucheuma cottonii and Eucheuma spinosum.

- In Australia there are only four types of true kelp, but the terms ‘kelp’ or ‘kelp forests’ are also sometimes given to similar-looking large brown seaweeds which also form rich habitats.

- Jupiterimages/liquidlibrary/Getty Images. Seaweed is a large variety of algae that grows in both fresh and salt water. Some seaweeds are edible and can be used in plant fertilizer or medicines. It is possible to grow your own seaweed at home in a large aquarium using salt water you make on the stove.

- Kelps are large brown algae seaweeds that make up the order Laminariales. There are about 30 different genera. Kelp grows in underwater forests (kelp forests) in shallow oceans, and is thought to have appeared in the Miocene, 23 to 5 million years ago. The organisms require nutrient-rich water with temperatures between 6 and 14 °C (43 and 57 °F). They are known for their high growth rate—the genera Macrocystis and Nereocystis can grow as fast as half a metre a day, ultimately reaching 30 to 80 metres (100 to 260 ft).

- Kelp are some of the best known brown seaweeds. There are many species of kelp, living in a variety of niches in the off-shore waters. They are adapted to different depths and degrees of water turbulence, and are found on continental shelves all over the world except in polar regions.

1. INTRODUCTION TO COMMERCIAL SEAWEEDS China is the largest producer of edible seaweeds, harvesting about 5 million wet tonnes. The greater part of this is for kombu, produced from hundreds of hectares of the brown seaweed, Laminaria japonica, that is grown on suspended ropes in the ocean.

- You won't believe these 10 facts about people. Seaweed is a microorganism that grows in oceans, lakes, rivers and other bodies of water and is comprised of algae. Algae is a plantlike organism that doesn’t contain actual roots, flowers, leaves and stems, but does contain the green pigment known as chlorophyll.ome forms of seaweed look like long strands and branches. Some types of seaweed, like kelp, look like sheets. A nutrient-rich microorganism typically found in oceans and seas, seaweed has long served as a food for some populations.
