Seaweed is a versatile and valuable resource that is used in many countries for various purposes. In food, seaweed is commonly used in sushi and is a rich source of phycocolloids, which have numerous health benefits. It is also extracted for compounds with antiviral, antibacterial, and antitumor activity, making it a promising candidate for pharmaceutical and medical applications. Additionally, seaweed is used as biofertilizers, providing essential nutrients to crops and improving soil health.

Worldwide, approximately four million tons of seaweed are harvested annually, with less than 20 species accounting for 90% of the biomass exploited commercially. This book provides detailed information on 147 species of edible seaweed, including their scientific name, common names, geographic location, nutritional composition, uses, and numerous illustrations. It serves as a comprehensive resource for anyone interested in learning more about the diverse world of seaweed and its potential applications.
