Farm management and biosecurity measures of Eucheumatoids: Cultivars, pest and disease, risks and risk managements

This brochure was prepared and written after four years of research of the seaweed industry of the Philippines by the GlobalSeaweedSTAR Philippine Team in a layman’s language. This provides the different stakeholders of the seaweed industry to understand and implement the mechanics of seaweed farming from the bio-ecophysiology and aquaculture point of views, to social network analysis to include risks and risk management strategies. Further, this brochure recommends policy makers to adapt in the formulation of legislatures especially on biosecurity measures to prevent or reduce the incidence of disease outbreaks, minimize risks in the production, trading and marketing levels and ultimately formulate risk management strategies. Such policies to be formulated based from science will redound to a more robust, resilient, ecologically friendly and sustainable seaweed aquaculture industry of the Philippines.
