Farming seaweed in Kiribati
A practical guide for seaweed farmers

by A. Teitelbaum

A large and growing global demand for carrageenan, the extract from Kappaphycus seaweed (also known by the trade names cottonii and euchema) gives high hopes in aquaculture. The need for regional training and extension services to support the industry expansion and transfer of technology promoted the idea of to this practical guide.

Two versions (I-Kiribati and English) of this practical guide have been published by SPC with the financial support of the European Union. This colourful, cartoon-type booklet was designed and compiled by Antoine Teitelbaum and staff from the Atoll Seaweed Company. The English version can be downloaded from here:
