3.F Kappaphycus sp. var. sacol (Sacol cottonii - may be new species)
Kappaphycus sp. var. sacol (Sacol Island strain; shown right) is one
of several cultivars that appears to have been propagated by
vegetative propagation from plants obtained from wild stocks.
The morphology of the eucheuma seaplants tends to be quite
variable and can result from genetic differences among strains;
environmental factors; agronomy methods; and apparently from
spontaneous mutations that occur within a strain and lead to
sustained characteristics such as colour differences.

Note: Landings of wild carrageenan bearing seaweeds in Chile fluctuated between about 7,000 13,000 tons/annum and averaged about
10,000 tons/annum from 1991 1999. There was no indication of declining harvest. Genera harvested were Mastocarpus, Sarcothalia,
Gigartina and Chondracanthus. (Avila & Pavez, 2000)

Comprehensive statistics are available for all years and all locations
but the numbers below appear to reflect the following industry
trends:
1. Since reaching peak levels on the order of 40-60,000 tons per
annum in the decade from 1967-1977 The Chondrus harvest has
shown a steady decline to the point where it has leveled off at
about 6-10,000 tons per annum.
2. Although this decline may be partly attributable to declining effort
industry sources suggest that many populations of Chondrus
have diminished in size and/or that the distribution of harvestable
beds has become reduced.
3. In areas such as Prince Edward Island in Canada there has been
a tendency for Chondrus and Furcellaria to grow in mixed
populations. This reduces crop value as plants must be separated
to facilitate extraction.
4. During the period 1977 - 1991 average Chondrus and Furcellaria
production held steady at about 25,000 tons per annum before
declining to present levels around 1992.

One of the first and most dramatic instances of field selection was
when screening in the Sulu Sea led to discovery of the species that
came to be recognised as K. alvarezii var. tambalang (Doty, 1985).
This strain has become dispersed to several parts of the world and is
thought to be the predominant commercial strain. Since 1971
several genetically stable variants of K. alvarezii have come to be
farmed commercially. The most common are known as the green,
olive-green, red and brown types. Each strain has found favour in
several farming areas and all four are roughly equivalent in the
quantity and quality of the carrageenan that they yield.

The lack of widely recognisable male individuals and the large size
of the thalli may prevent use of the conventional Mendelian genetic
breeding methods used successfully by Van der Meer (e.g. 1979) in
Gracilaria and by Fang et al. (1963) and Fang (1983) in Laminaria.
Cheney (1986) and Polne-Fuller & Gibor (1987) have developed
methodologies of protoplast fusion. Cheney (pers. comm.) also
reports on a technique called "cell-cell" fusion which has been
developed to genetically modify strains of commercially valuable red
seaweeds including Eucheuma. Their efforts have been toward
removing the cell walls from around protoplasts without damaging
the cytoplast. Techniques to establish culture procedures that will
result in a large number of cultivars and inexpensive propagation of
Kappaphycus have been presented. For example Dawes and Koch
(Azanza, pers. comm.) developed procedures for micropropagule
and tissue culture to develop propagules successfully introduced to
farms in the Philippines.
There is a school of thought that advocates "Genetic engineering" approaches to cultivar improvement among for use with
eucheuma seaplants but this is a controversial issue. Detractors of this view point out that market resistance can be expected as a
result of an expanding global movement, against genetically modified organisms (GMO) and many people value seaplants and their
products largely because of their "naturalness". Some major users of carrageenan stipulate that GMO seaplants must not be used as raw
material for manufacture of their ingredients. Fortunately there are still many natural gene pools to select from and there are no
major problems with eucheuma seaplants that cry out for genetic engineering solutions. There is still plenty of scope for
programs of screening for new vigorous strains derived from natural populations of Kappaphycus and retention of "seed banks" for strains
of interest.

Kappaphycus
kappa
carrageenan
comprises
alternating units
of 3-linked D
galactosyl (G unit)
and 4-linked D
galactosyl (D
unit). The G unit
is mostly
sulphated at
carbon 4 (G4S).
The D units are
often sulfated at
carbon 6 (D6S).
The D units may also be converted to 3,6 anhydro galactosyl sugar
(DA). Variations to these basic units include a G unit that is
unsulphated (G) and a D unit sulphated at carbon 2 (DA2S).The D6S
sugar is considered as the biological precursor of the DA sugar. This
conversion can also be achieved by chemical methods (e.g. alkaline
modification). Carrageenan molecules are flexible and provide fibre
components and/or a matrix in which skeletal fibres are embedded.
In function it may be analogous to more rigid glucans such as
cellulose, mannans and xylans that occur in other seaplants and land
plants.

General Physiology
monograph index
Page 26

There is little physiological work published on eucheuma seaplants. Since eucheuma seaplants are of commercial interest some studies
have been made to elucidate relationships between the environment and seaweed production but much basic biology remains to be done.
Consequently many of the principals of eucheuma seaweed physiology and biology must be extrapolated from results obtained during
studies of other seaplants and land plants. General trends expected on that basis are as follows:
Anabolic processes including the rate of photosynthesis and growth rate
generally follow a pattern such as the one illustrated at left.
These processes respond to environmental variables such as temperature,
light intensity and the availability of essential nutrients. By this model
anabolic processes increase as the environmental variable increases,
reach a "Peak" or a "plateau" where conditions are best and diminish once
the variable exceeds the optimum range. At some point death occurs.

Ultimately the only way to find out whether a given site supports
vigorous plant growth is to plant test plots and expand where plants
grow best.
Only growing crops over several seasons confirms which locales are
best. Site selection is critical to farm success. Site choice can lead to
project failure or to success and competitive advantage. The critical
factors necessary at a good site are:
1. Communities of people willing and able to become effective
seaweed farmers.
2. Clean, nutrient-rich water at the right temperature.
3. Low probability of force majeur episodes due to natural or
human causes.
4. Access to essential inputs, infrastructure and resources at
attractive cost.
5. A stable, friendly climate for business, political and socioeconomic activities.
These factors have implications for the types of culture systems that
can be used for seaplant cultivation. Examples:
1. Enclosures or suspension systems must expose the plants
to both light and water flow so large volume-to-surface
enclosures such as salmon cages cannot be used.
2. Plants must be separated and suspended by the use of
physical structures (e.g. cages or ties on ropes) and/or applied
force (e.g. air and paddle-wheel agitation).
3. Plants and animals can be combined in properly designed
polyculture systems to their mutual benefit.

The use of such systems has been tried with several species of

reduce the labour of attaching or confining plants; especially with
small species (photo below). Other motives include protection

Although "enclosure" methods are commonly used for temporary
holding of live propagules they have never gained popularity for
crop grow-out. For various reasons their efficacy seldom offsets
the high capital and operating costs that such systems have
relative to "attach-to-string" methods.
The jury is still out on "enclosure cultivation. Variants of such
systems may prove to be cost-effective as technology and
agronomy protocols advance.

In most tropical regions of the Indian and Pacific Oceans there are
seasonal shifts in prevailing wind direction and general weather
conditions generally referred to as "monsoons".
In some farm areas the monsoons cause acceptable variations in
farm productivity but in others there may be changes that make the
farming of certain sites uneconomic during some seasons.
monograph index
Page 47
next
When farm areas exhibit strong seasonality effects there is little that
can be done other than to relocate the farm. When and how to do
this is determined my the effective use of environmental monitoring
and crop-logging programs (whether intuitive or formalised) and the
development of effective controls or remedial actions.
In general farmers have three choices if farming becomes becomes
seasonally uneconomic at particular sites. They are:
1. Harvest and sell.
2. Move the farm to another site.
3. Transfer thalli into a
relatively deep hollow that has a
low but sustaining light intensity;
then wait for a favourable
seasonal change.
The decision as to which course to take depends on current market
conditions and the availability of suitable alternate planting sites.
With respect to long-term farm productivity variations it seems that
little is understood. Attribution of effects to el Nio or la Nia attach
a name to such phenomena but contribute little by way of
explanation especially where there is weak correlation to begin with.
For example during 1998-1999 poorer-than-previously cottonii
growth was reported to the author by various informants in sites as
widespread as the Sulu Sea and Zanzibar, yet the productivity of
spinosum (E. denticulatum) continued undiminished. In some areas
the commercial cultivation of cottonii ceased and spinosum replaced
it where market conditions permitted.

A good crop log database comprises valuable equity for any seaplant
farming business.
Proper development and use of this information preserves experience
and knowledge through successive generations of management and
staff. Your hard-earned expertise does not simply "walk out the door"
when people move on to other things or get pirated by your
competion and new recruits do not have to waste valuable
resources reinventing the wheel.
Successful crop-logging involves vigilance and methodical recording
of data using three types of monitoring program:
1. Keeping accurate records of planting, harvesting and growth
rates (e.g. through use of test-lines and test-plots).
2. Measurement of oceanographic and meteorological parameters.
3. Monitoring of crop condition.
Ideally sites should be monitored on a weekly basis. The crop-logging
program should be augmented by use of properly stored and indexed
digital photographs.

Action options available in response to observed condition and behaviour are as follows:
GREEN =
MAXIMISE
Tend the crop industriously and take advantage of the good crop yields that come with Condition Gold. Plant vigorously. The ability to expand
plantings during Condition Gold will determine maximum attainable farm yields.
LIME =
MAINTAIN
Tend the crop industriously and maintain vigilance to ensure that "condition yellow" is not emerging. Plant vigorously as long as signs of problems
are not worsening at a noticeable rate. Be ready to harvest as soon as there are signs of impending or rapidly developing trouble.
AMBER =
BE VIGILANT
Maintain frequent vigilance to see if worsening conditions are progressive and worsening. Re-seed with better propagules or adjust agronomy
protocols if possible. The crop is still doing OK but there are losses to grazers or noticeable W.E.E.D. problems that add to labour cost (e.g. having
to pick out weeds) and/or reduce crop quality (e.g. epiphyte/epizoa contamination of crop).
ORANGE = MOVE If possible move crop to better sites if condition is tending toward condition 3 and/or growth decreasing. Conditions can rapidly move toward an
Action Red situation where significant crop losses may occur.
RED =
BAIL OUT
Move crop immediately to sites with better conditions or crop out farm. If conditions are such that Action Red is required that means that
significant crop losses are occurring.

Blue Purple Pink Cyan grazing means that grazers are harvesting most of crop.
Grazing by herbivorous marine animals has been a problem for eucheuma seaplant farmers since the beginning of agronomy development
(Doty, 1973; Parker, 1974; Doty and Alvarez, 1981) but there have been few published studies of this topic.
Grazer sizes range from the very small (e.g. apple snail, near right) to the fairly large (e.g.
green turtle, Chelonia midas, far right). The presence of grazers is usually due to the
placement of farm habitats in or near to seagrass beds and other areas where marine
herbivores have endemic populations. In other cases herbivores may be introduced through
the transport of propagules among farm locations. In still other cases the herbivores come
to farms when schools of fish pass through a farms during certain seasons or life-cycle
stages.
The sea urchin species Diadema setosum and Tripneustes gratilla are commonly found in the vicinity of eucheuma seaplant farms. They
appear to be "planers", "gougers" and "strippers". If farm habitats are placed on or near the sea floor for several months or years it
appears that localised "population explosions" of grazers can be stimulated (author; pers. obs.).
Diadema setosum Tripneustes gratilla
Russell (1983) and Uy et al. (1998) lent formal confirmation to common observations of farmers when they observed that fish selectively
graze smaller branches of eucheuma seaplants. Juvenile parrotfish (scarids) and surgeonfish (acanthurids) have been observed to consume
as much as 50-80% of eucheuma seaplant populations at 0.5 and 2.0 m depth (Russell, 1983) and rabbitfish (siganids) are commonly seen
to be feeding on eucheuma seaplants. Most fish seem to be "tip nippers".
Other herbivorous fish families including puffers fish are known or suspected to be eucheuma grazers and a wide variety of invertebrates
including holothurians and crustacea are commonly seen in the vicinity of eucheuma seaplant farms. The author has received numerous
reports of star fish and sea cucumbers eating seaplant crops. Herbivory on eucheuma seaplants is a subject with abundant scope for useful
study.

If you do not place your farm in the midst of grazer habitat they are far less likely to bother you.

GOOD AS GOLD - Plants are healthy, with good colour and no more
than trace amounts of grazers or W.E.E.D.
Crops that look like the one below are the rule rather than the
exception in many places where eucheuma seaplants have been
grown for several years - even decades. One of the secrets to this
success is that the carrying capacity of local environments not be
reduced by poor farming practices.
Environmental impact
Some areas appear to enter a period of poor growth after several years
of seaplant farming. These usually appear to be places that are very
heavily planted - usually using "off bottom" methods that close to sea
floors that have been subjected to considerable direct, secondary,
collateral or indirect damage. Such places may recover after a few
fallow years but should be replanted using less environmentally
stressful agronomy practices.

Drifting logs and misdirected boats can damage farms and all

anticipate events such as these and there is little that they can do to
prevent such random damage.
Once destruction by unpredictable events is discerned repairing the
broken lines, gathering and reattaching the broken thalli and
harvesting those not used in restoring the planting are usually the
most economic responses.

There is a growing trend for eucheuma seaplants to enter
international commerce in the form of "cottonii chips" or "meal". In
many cases this is fully alkali-modified material that can be directly
ground and blended for sale as PES (E407a) or dissolved in water,
clarified and sold as carrageenan (E407).
The "chips" process generally involves drying the crop to a moisture
content of less than 50%; cooking at 80-90oC for 2-3 hours in the
presence of a 1-2N KOH + KCl mix; washing in several volumes of
fresh water; chopping; drying; and grinding into coarse "chips" or
meal. The end product is generally packed in sacks for shipping to
further-processors.
