Manual on the best practices for seaweed farming, including biocontainment and management of pests and pathogens

This is a practically-oriented, manual of best practices for seaweed farming. It is based on GENIALG work and expertise, and is not exhaustive. It deals especially with (a) long-line cultivation of laminarian seaweeds, especially Saccharina latissima, and (b) on-land cultivation of sea-lettuce, Ulva spp. However, most recommendations apply to similar species farmed in the same way. It includes sections on binding a species and site, contributions to the business plan, biosecurity, environment and monitoring, social licence, harvesting, storage and food safety, further reading to find more detail about these matters.
