In 1942 Harder and Von Witsch were the first to propose that microalgae be grown as a source of lipids for food or fuel. [3] [4] Following World War II, research began in the US, [5] [6] [7] Germany, [8] Japan, [9] England, [10] and Israel [11] on culturing techniques and engineering systems for growing microalgae on larger scales, particularly species in the genus Chlorella.
Dulse is one of many edible algae. Algaculture may become an important part of a healthy and sustainable food system [11]. Several species of algae are raised for food. While algae have qualities of a sustainable food source, "producing highly digestible proteins, lipids, and carbohydrates, and are rich in essential fatty acids, vitamins, and minerals" and e.g. having a high protein ...
Barley straw, in England, is placed in mesh bags and floated in fish ponds or water gardens to help reduce algal growth without harming pond plants and animals. Barley straw has not been approved by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for use as a pesticide and its effectiveness as an algaecide in ponds has produced mixed results during university testing in the United ...
