Abstract

"A major factor limiting the expansion of abalone cultivation in temperate countries is the ready and economic availability of suitable algal rations," explains Emmanuel 'Manny' Capinpin, a researcher spearheading the abalone culture effort at AQD. Abalone feed on seaweed. "There is also the environmental considerations in harvesting large quantities of macroalgae," Manny says. "In the Philippines, however, cultured seaweed is available and may be used to feed abalone. Gracilariopsis heteroclada has a high protein content, promotes fast growth, and can maintain growth of Haliotis asinina over extended periods.
