p:abstract
  • Algaculture is a form of aquaculture involving the farming of species of algae. The majority of algae that are intentionally cultivated fall into the category of microalgae, also referred to as phytoplankton, microphytes, or planktonic algae. Macroalgae, commonly known as seaweed, also have many commercial and industrial uses, but due to their size and the specific requirements of the environment in which they need to grow, they do not lend themselves as readily to cultivation on a large scale as microalgae and are most often harvested wild from the ocean. Some of the commercial and industrial purposes of algae cultivation are for production of bioplastics, dyes and colorants, feedstock, pharmaceuticals, pollution control, and for possible future food and algae fuel sources.
