Effects of outplanting time on growth, shedding and quality of Saccharina latissima (Phaeophyceae) in its northern distribution range
Matsson, Böris Sanna Christina A; Metaxas, Anna; Forbord, Silje; Kristiansen, Svein; Handå, Aleksander; Bluhm, Bodil (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-04-30)To reach the goal of large-scale seaweed cultivation in Norway and the rest of Europe, new knowledge about the commercially important kelp species <i>Saccharina latissima</i> is needed. Efforts to maximise biomass by outplanting the seaweed in different seasons can affect seaweed quality. Here, we investigate the effects of outplanting time (February, April, and May) when cultivating <i>S. latissima</i> ... -
Erosion Dynamics of Cultivated Kelp, Saccharina latissima, and Implications for Environmental Management and Carbon Sequestration
Fieler, Reinhold; Greenacre, Michael; Matsson, Sanna; Neves, Luiza Saliba; Forbord, Silje; Hancke, Kasper (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-10-28)A growing trend of interest for the cultivation of kelp is driven by predictions for high global demands of important commodities, which require the development of alternative supplies of natural resources. In this study the dynamics of loss of biomass from cultivated Saccharina latissima were studied from February to August 2018 at two kelp farms in Northern (69°45.26′N/019°02.18′E) and in Mid-Norway ... -
Latitudinal, seasonal and depth-dependent variation in growth, chemical composition and biofouling of cultivated Saccharina latissima (Phaeophyceae) along the Norwegian coast
Forbord, Silje; Matsson, Sanna; Brodahl, Guri Ellila; Bluhm, Bodil; Broch, Ole Jacob; Handå, Aleksander; Metaxas, Anna; Skjermo, Jorunn; Steinhovden, Kristine; Olsen, Yngvar (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-01-23)The Norwegian coastline covers more than 10° in latitude and provides a range in abiotic and biotic conditions for seaweed farming. In this study, we compared the effects of cultivation depth and season on the increase in biomass (frond length and biomass yield), chemical composition (protein, tissue nitrogen, intracellular nitrate and ash content) and biofouling (total cover and species composition) ...
