EnAlgae Macroalgal Pilot Network This will build on work recently completed by NUIG, QUB and BIM and funded by the Marine Institute (Ireland) on “Development and demonstration of viable hatchery and ongrowing methodologies for seaweed species with identified commercial potential” [Give some details and show manuals.]
Economic assessment of Palmaria cultivation: at sea & in tanks Best yields of Palmaria after cultivation at sea obtained by settling spores on nets (3 x 1.3 m, with 10-cm mesh) and harvesting the nets after 5-6 months in the sea. Yield per net is 25-30 kg of wet Palmaria. Assuming that standard refrigerated container used as a hatchery, only 48 nets could be seeded and maintained prior to deployment, so total annual production of wet Palmaria would be 1.2-1.4 tonnes. At current prices, value of crop would be €3,000-5,000. Capital costs to install and equip container as a hatchery: €40,000 Annual costs for consumables, electricity and labour: €90,000 Unless yields can be greatly improved, cultivating Palmaria at sea will not provide basis for a viable business. Tank cultivation of Palmaria: Depreciation on equipment plus electricity for farm with 80x1-m 2 tanks: c. €8,000 per year. At 50 kg/tank, total yield of wet Palmaria would be 4 tonnes, worth €10,000 (€14,000 if sold dry), so small margin available to pay for limited labour required.
