Abstract

Agar bearing seaweeds Gracilaria spp. and Gelidium spp. grow abundantly in the AsiaPacific region. They grow well in a wide range of salinity. In the Philippines, they naturally grow attached to marine fish cages and mangrove roots in brackishwater areas. Long utilized as food by coastal dwellers, the production of seaweeds for commercial purpose is fairly recent. Studies in the Philippines have shown that a good number of the coastal populations in the southern and central part of the country are presently engaged in full time seaweed farming. Thus, the production and post harvest techniques and m ethods for processing Gracilaria to produce agar suitable for local market is necessary to augment the meager income of coastal dwellers.
