Researchers from Tel Aviv University and Haifa’s Israel Oceanographic and Limnological Research Institute, led by PhD student Doron Yehuda Ashkenazi, have developed a method to cultivate designer seaweed using aquaculture technology. This method enriches seaweed with specific nutrients, proteins, dietary fiber, and minerals by integrating it with finfish. The resulting superfood can help combat malnutrition and nutritional deficiencies, and can be used in various applications such as health foods, nutritional supplements, cosmetics, and animal feed. The process is environmentally friendly and has the added benefit of purifying water. The study focused on local algae species grown near fish farms, fed with nutrient-rich fish effluents, and grown under special conditions to increase nutritional value.
