Today, 700 species have been identified along 1000 km of shoreline,  producing 10 million tons of biomass. In the Fourteenth International  Seaweed Sumposium the latest developments in the area are discussed.  The blending of molecular biology with traditional taxonomy is  improving our understanding of phylogeny and species relationships  among many of the important algae. A new generation of  biologically-based management models is gradually incorporating field  testing, concepts from ecological theory and principles from  population biology. Prediction is being improved, and an appropriate  balance is being struck between commercial exploitation and the  preservation of wild seaweed resources. Cell and tissue culture of  seaweeds is entering the mass-production phase. Field farming is now  entering the large-scale production area. New, biologically active  compounds are being described, obtained from algae, and new tools for  the characterisation of phytocolloids are described. Microalgal blooms  and toxins are also experiencing a flourish of new results.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2012-10-15\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9789401048828\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-94-011-1998-6\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 260cm x195cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 726\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Netherlands","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44398563295372,"sku":"9789401048828","price":296.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9789401048828.jpg?v=1771513427","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9789401048828","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
