• Macroalgae as a sustainable aquafeed ingredient (2019, background): “Protein levels in Pyropia spp. can amount to 50 % (DW, McHugh, 2003), and much of this can be attributed to the proteinic pigmentphycoerythrin (Harnedy and FitzGerald, 2011).”
• Systematics of the Gracilariales (Rhodophyta) including new subfamilies, tribes, subgenera, and two new genera, Agarophyton gen. nov. and Crassa gen. nov. (2018, background): “Agar- is derived from the Malay “agar-agar” (a gelatinous substance from seaweed; see: McHugh 2003) which we have joined with an “-o- “ to the Greek -phyton, thus the name means “agar-plant.””
• Concise review of the genus Caulerpa J.V. Lamouroux (2019, background): “Caulerpa is exported (mainly to Japan) as a fresh product or mostly in brine cured or salted form (McHugh 2003).”
• Factors affecting yield and gelling properties of agar (2016, background): “Seaweeds producing agar with lower gelling temperature are desired to make bacteriological agar as it prevents heat damage to the materials (e.g. antibiotics) added into hot agar solution (McHugh 2003).”
• Finding the missing piece of the aquatic plastic pollution puzzle: Interaction between primary producers and microplastics (2017, background): “…such as agar and carageenan are also made from marine macroalgae harvested in the ocean (Lee 2008) and may be contaminated with microplastics; the cloth filters used in standard manufacturing protocols (McHugh 2003) are not expected to effectively remove microplastics in the micrometer range.”
• The future of seaweed aquaculture in a rapidly changing world (2017, background): “Those functions can be categorized as (1) Provisioning, i.e. food production (Sohn, 1993; FAO, 2003), raw materials (MacArtain et al., 2007) and biofuels (Roesijadi et al., 2010); (2) Regulating, i.e. potential CO2 sequestration (Chung et al., 2011, 2013; Tang et al., 2011; N’Yeurt et al., 2012),…”
• The economic feasibility of seaweed production in the North Sea (2016, background): “FAO data (McHugh, 2003) showed that more than 6 million metric tons are consumed annually with the largest markets all in Asia (China 5 million metric tons, Republic of Korea 800,000 metric tons, Japan 600,000 metric tons).”
• Mariculture of the Asian kelp Undaria pinnatifida and the native kelp Saccharina latissima along the Atlantic coast of Southern Europe: An overview (2016, background): “for biofuel production and for pharmaceutical, and cosmetic purposes [1,2].”
• Food or fad? Challenges and opportunities for including seaweeds in a Nordic diet (2015, background): “In a culinary context seaweeds can be used both as a vegetable, salt and spices in one (McHugh 2003).”
• Alginate Production from Marine Macroalgae, with Emphasis on Kelp Farming (2018, methodology): “Today, it is commonly used in the industry to produce alginates from brown seaweeds [42, 80].”
