Innovations in the Blue Economy

Sustainable Practices in Marine Macro- and Microalgae Cultivation

About this book

Innovations in the Blue Economy: Sustainable Practices in Marine Macro- and Microalgae Cultivation explores the latest technologies, advancements, and ongoing research surrounding the sustainable cultivation of microalgae and seaweed. Cultivation strategies, challenges, applications, products, and regulatory considerations are covered through an interdisciplinary lens to provide readers with a holistic understanding. Written by a globally diverse network of experts, the book is systematically structured to be accessible to readers across multiple sectors. Chapters describe the biology, diversity, and vital ecological roles of various microalgal and seaweed species and explore differing cultivation systems, emphasizing the critical aspects of site selection and ecosystem compatibility. Cultivation strategies are also described and illustrated through applied case studies that showcase successful large-scale cultivation initiatives. Final chapters consider regulatory landscapes and multifaceted hurdles to sustainable industry scale-up and provide innovative solutions and research gaps for industry consideration. This is an essential read for algal aquaculturists, bioengineers, and students of marine biology and biotechnology. - Explores the sustainable cultivation of microalgae and seaweed from an interdisciplinary perspective spanning biology, environmental science, engineering, and economics - Illustrates sustainable cultivation with practical case studies from various industries, including agriculture, aquaculture, and biofuel production - Discusses sustainable commercial scale-up for the production of valuable, eco-friendly algal products - Navigates the regulatory landscape governing microalgae and seaweed cultivation
