Developing An Environmentally And Economically Sustainable Sugar Kelp Aquaculture Industry In Southern New England: From Seed To Market, Charles Yarish, Jang K. Kim, Scott Lindell, Hauke Kits-Powell Nov 2017

Developing An Environmentally And Economically Sustainable Sugar Kelp Aquaculture Industry In Southern New England: From Seed To Market, Charles Yarish, Jang K. Kim, Scott Lindell, Hauke Kits-Powell

Department of Marine Sciences

The long-term goal of this proposed project was to promote development of a sustainable sugar kelp industry that can help revitalize working waterfronts, and increase employment and economic opportunities for seafood production, processing, and distribution services in Southern New England and New York. To achieve this goal, we have transfer cultivation techniques of Saccharina latissima (sugar kelp) from academic laboratories to commercially viable farms, introduce processing techniques, and provide templates for business plans. An additional benefit of this study are the ecosystem services afforded by sugar kelp farming. Kelp aquaculture will remove carbon and nitrogen (as well as phosphorus) from …

New England Seaweed Culture Handbook, Sarah Redmond, Lindsay Green, Charles Yarish, Jang Kim, Christopher Neefus

Seaweed Cultivation

A new 92-page handbook published by Connecticut Sea Grant provides instruction on nursery culture for four economically and ecologically valuable seaweeds. The volume builds on decades of research on the physiological and culture techniques led by Dr. Charles Yarish at UConn and Dr. Christopher Neefus, U. of New Hampshire.

The Dream Of Seaweed Farming Becomes Reality In Long Island Sound, Margaret (Peg) A. Van_Patten Ms.

Wrack Lines

Charles Yarish and collaborators have established a seaweed farm in Western Long Island Sound, off Bridgeport Connecticut via a research grant from Connecticut Sea Grant. Two species, Gracilaria tikvahiae and the kelp Saccharina latissima, are being grown as crops.


Allocation Of Blade Surface To Reproduction In Laminaria Longicruris De La Pylaie In The Northwestern Atlantic Ocean, Margaret (Peg) A. Van_Patten Ms. Dec 1992

Allocation Of Blade Surface To Reproduction In Laminaria Longicruris De La Pylaie In The Northwestern Atlantic Ocean, Margaret (Peg) A. Van_Patten Ms.

Department of Marine Sciences

The objective of this study is to quantify the timing of and allocation of resources to reproduction in Laminaria longicruris, sugar kelp, with emphasis on a population in Long Island Sound.
