Usage notes
Species of considerable economic importance as food source in Japan, Korea and China (trade name: Wakame). Total annual yield from natural harvest and cultivation sites of Undaria spp. was about 130,000 tons fresh weight in 1967 (Saito 1975). Long-line culture started in the early 1960's and meanwhile production increased to about 30% of the wild harvest in Japan (Sanbonsuga 1984). For cultivation methods and propagation of Undaria see Saito (1975) and Jung (1988). Some progress has been made in tissue culture, protoplast isolation and cryopreservation (Arbault et al. 1990, Chen 1984, Shabao 1988, Tokuda & Kawashima 1988).
