Sargassum is a genus of brown macroalgae in the order Fucales of the Phaeophyceae class. [1] Numerous species are distributed throughout the temperate and tropical oceans of the world, where they generally inhabit shallow water and coral reefs, and the genus is widely known for its planktonic (free-floating) species.
Other seaweed may be used as fertilizer, compost for landscaping, or to combat beach erosion through burial in beach dunes. [55] Seaweed is under consideration as a potential source of bioethanol. [56] [57] Seaweed is lifted out of the top of an algae scrubber/cultivator, to be discarded or used as food, fertilizer, or skin care.
A defrost timer taken out of a household refrigerator. The defrost mechanism in a refrigerator heats the cooling element (evaporator coil) for a short period of time and melts the frost that has formed on it. [1] The resulting water drains through a duct at the back of the unit. Defrosting is controlled by an electric or electronic timer.
A handy trick is to keep a cup of frozen water in your freezer with a coin on top of the ice,” Roberts suggests. “If it melts, the coin drops to the bottom.
While the fronds can reach up to 2 m, the length depends on wave exposure: the length increases with water velocity until a certain point, then decreases as waves become more intense. [9] The fronds can reach 2 m in length and are attached by a holdfast to rocks and boulders. In rare cases, the fronds can reach 6m long. [6]
The seaweed is prepared by cleaning and soaking it overnight in fresh water to remove the bitter iodine taste. [ 14 ] Like all macroalgae , Asparagopsis contains bromoform , a halogen compound which is known to inhibit methane production in ruminants .
Seagulls sit in the sand as Monica Madrigal finds her way to the ocean through a thick raft of Sargassum seaweed that washed up on the seashore by the 71st Street area in Miami Beach on Tuesday ...
Laminaria hyperborea is a massive, leathery seaweed, up to 360 cm long. [3] The holdfast is large and cone-shaped, with branched rhizoids, looking rather like a bird's foot. The stipe is circular in cross section, rough, thick at the base and tapering upwards. Older stipes are often covered with epiphytic red algae. The laminate blade is deeply ...
