The biogeography of kelps (Laminariales, Phaeophyceae): a global analysis with new insights from recent advances in molecular phylogenetics (2010, background): “Species of kelps are important in many industries for human food, production of alginates (Zemke-White and Ohno 1999) as well as many other uses such as medicine (Smit 2004) and feed in abalone aquaculture (Troell et al. 2006).”
Plant biostimulants: a review on the processing of macroalgae and use of extracts for crop management to reduce abiotic and biotic stresses (2013, background): “Other initiatives from South Africa (Stirk and van Staden 1996, 1997; Troell et al. 2006), Asia (Pringle et al.”
Growing Ulva (Chlorophyta) in integrated systems as a commercial crop for abalone feed in South Africa: a SWOT analysis (2009, background): “…of the local abalone, Haliotis midae, has grown rapidly from its beginnings in the mid-1990s, and South Africa is currently the largest producer of cultured abalone outside Asia (Troell et al. 2006; Robertson-Andersson et al. 2008), producing ca. 1,100 t in 2007 (Robertson-Andersson 2007).”
Ecological engineering in aquaculture — Potential for integrated multi-trophic aquaculture (IMTA) in marine offshore systems (2009, background): “Under other circumstances, maximization of biomass yield and quality (e.g. high commercial value of the extractive species in an integrated seaweed-abalone culture; Troell et al., 2006) may be the primary driver.”
Integrated seaweed cultivation on an abalone farm in South Africa (2008, background): “This resource is now approaching limits of sustainable harvesting and the annual maximum sustainable yield (6–10% of total standing crop) has been reached in kelp concession areas with high abalone farm concentrations (Troell et al. 2006).”
Production and fate of kelp detritus (2012, unknown): “Kelp is primarily used for human consumption (Rothman et al. 2006, Peteiro & Freire 2011), alginic acid extraction (Vasquez 2008, Vea & Ask 2011), and as feed for cultured abalone (Troell et al. 2006, Macchiavello et al. 2010).”
Suitability of two seaweeds, Gracilaria lemaneiformis and Sargassum pallidum, as feed for the abalone Haliotis discus hannai Ino (2010, background): “…maxima, Laminaria japonica, Ulva rigida, Carpoblepharis flaccida, Gracilaria gracilis, Ulva lactuca are used for abalone culture (Alcantara and Noro, 2006; Demetropoulos and Langdon, 2004; Mai et al., 1996; Naidoo et al., 2006; Nie and Yan, 1985; Taylor and Tsvetnenko, 2004; Troell et al., 2006).”
