• The Economics of Kappaphycus Seaweed Cultivation in Developing Countries: A Comparative Analysis of Farming Systems (2015, background): “Industry analysts estimate that global aquaculture production had reached 183 thousand tons (dry weight) by 2009 (Bixler & Porse, 2011), with around 90% of total output coming from Indonesia and the Philippines.”
• Seaweed extract stimuli in plant science and agriculture (2011, background): “Adapted from Chopin and Sawhney (2009) a Bixler and Porse (2010) give US$1.”
• Algae as promising feedstocks for fermentative biohydrogen production according to a biorefinery approach: A comprehensive review (2015, neutral): “Purified carrageenans from red algae are usually used to produce gel; agar from red algae is used to produce hydrocolloids in food, pharmaceutical and biological industries [50,55,56].”
• Plant biostimulants: a review on the processing of macroalgae and use of extracts for crop management to reduce abiotic and biotic stresses (2013, background): “Recent studies in Europe have focused on potential cultivation of macroalgal species to increase the availability of marine biomass for bioenergy exploitation (Horn 2000; Kelly and Dworjanyn 2008).”
• Alginate Production from Marine Macroalgae, with Emphasis on Kelp Farming (2018, background): “Brown seaweeds have been worldwide resources for alginate extraction since industrial alginate production began in 1929 in California, USA, shortly thereafter, beginning in 1939  in several European countries and Japan and, more recently in the 1980s, in China [42, 43, 81].”
• Seaweed production: overview of the global state of exploitation, farming and emerging research activity (2017, background): “These include higher value uses as raw materials for specialty polysaccharides (e.g. agar, carrageenan and alginates: Bixler & Porse, 2011), or transformation of the biomass into products for technical, specialty agronomic applications (Buschmann et al., 2008; Craigie, 2011).”
• Factors affecting yield and gelling properties of agar (2016, background): “There is a high market demand for agar, with a global production of 9600 t in 2009 (Bixler and Porse 2011).”
• Algal Polysaccharides, Novel Applications and Outlook (2012, background): “Polysaccharides are polymers of simple sugars (monosaccharides) linked together by glycosidic bonds, and they have numerous commercial applications in products such as stabilisers, thickeners, emulsifiers, food, feed, beverages etc. (McHugh 1987; Tseng 2001; Bixler and Porse, 2010).”
• The economic feasibility of seaweed production in the North Sea (2016, background): “The price that hydrocolloids producers are willing to pay for seaweed sales is expected to be US$950/metric ton of DM.”
• European seaweeds under pressure: Consequences for communities and ecosystem functioning (2015, background): “Nowadays seaweeds are mostly harvested for alginates, fertilizers, cosmetics or processed for health food industries (Bixler and Porse, 2011).”
• Bioactive compounds in seaweed: functional food applications and legislation (2011, background): “Nowadays, the key industrial producers of alginates are the US, Great Britain, Norway, Canada, France, Japan and China; the annual sales volume of alginates in the world is about 26,500 t out of a total volume of 86,000 t hydrocolloids (Bixler and Porse 2010).”
• Macroalgae as a sustainable aquafeed ingredient (2019, background): “…commercial scale, e.g. Ecklonia radiata, Ascophyllum nodosum, Laminaria spp., Lessonia spp. and Macrocystis spp. (ZemkeWhite, Bremner and Hurd, 1999; Vásquez, 2008; Vea and Ask, 2010; Guiry and Morrison, 2013), and these are typically destined for phycocolloid extraction (Bixler and Porse, 2010).”
• Sustainable harvesting of wild seaweed resources (2017, background): “The commercial availability of seaweeds falls into two categories: resource-based, wild-collected enterprises and, similar to commercial agricultural production activities, cultivated seaweeds (Bixler & Porse, 2011; Hafting et al., 2012).”
