Brazil's heavy dependence on imported fertilizers highlights the need for sustainable alternatives. Biofertilizers derived from marine macroalgae, such as Kappaphycus alvarezii, are emerging as a promising solution. This red algae, a source of carrageenan, is already used in the food and pharmaceutical industries, and its commercial cultivation in Brazil has begun in Santa Catarina. Studi…
Mariculture is fundamental to ensuring food survive and security in the world. Only 5% of aquaculture production in Brazil comes from mariculture (<50 thousand tons). Therefore, Brazil, with its large coastal region and favorable environment, is very far from reaching its potential in the development of mariculture and foreign exchange generation. The State of Rio de Janeiro (ERJ) has ver…
The State of Rio de Janeiro (ERJ) presents favorable conditions for the development of mariculture, despite having reduced aquaculture. Mariculture in Baía da Ilha Grande (BIG) shows progressively reduced productivity over the course of the last years, due to sudden death outbreaks in the scallop population. The causes for this break in productivity are still unknown but reduce drasticall…
