Abstract: | The supply of Gelidium resources is dependent on collection from natural habitats. As these resources are very limited, one possible means of augmenting production is by implementation of artificial cultivation as has been done with Laminaria, Porphyra and Eucheuma. Chinese phycologists have conducted research on sporeling and field cultivation of Gelidium for many years. Trials have been made using: (1) raft cultivation based on vegetative propogation of thallus fragments, (2) cultivation based on spore-collecting and land-based tank culture to provide seedstock, (3) cultivation based on regeneration from small thallus fragments to provide seedstock. Some of these results have been promising, but development remains at the experimental stage and methods of cultivation need to be improved. This paper is an updated review of the research and development on artificial sporeling production and field cultivation of Gelidium in China. |
