Mature individuals of kelp sporophytes are used as seaweed bed
seed stock for mass seedling production at cultivation sites or as seed stock
to be supplied for the construction of seaweed beds.
More
efficient seedling production and management will be possible by securing the
required amount of seedlings for anyone, anytime, and anywhere.
Based on the
information on kelps obtained in this research, more practical applications to
production sites are expected.
Kelp has a
mechanism to protect, survive, and reproduce against various environmental
stresses throughout its life cycle.
We are focusing on many resource seaweeds, including
kelps, to maximize their potential.
