Laminaria was harvested for food and 1949 yielded 40.3 metric tons of dry weight. [9] Laminaria need cold water to survive and can only live above 36° N latitude. [citation needed] In 1949, the Chinese started to commercially grow laminaria as a crop. This increased the production of dry weight to 6,200 metric tons.
The species has been cultivated in China, Japan, Korea, Russia and France. [5] It is one of the two most consumed species of kelp in China and Japan. [1] Saccharina japonica is also used for the production of alginates, with China producing up to ten thousand tons of the product each year. [6] S. japonica contains very high amounts of iodine.
