The native marine flora of the Hawaiian Islands is a mixture of tropical species and cold-temperate species. Since 1997, Pacific dulse (Devaleraea mollis), an “arctic-cold temperate” red algal species, has been successfully cultured in a large-scale land-based aquaculture farm on the west coast of the island of Hawai‘i and used as feed for abalone production at the Big Island Abalone Company. The success with Pacific dulse in land-based culture suggests that other native macroalgae with temperate affinities may also be candidates for culture in Hawai‘i.

摘要

The native marine flora of the Hawaiian Islands is a mixture of tropical species and cold-temperate species. Since 1997, Pacific dulse (Devaleraea mollis), an “arctic-cold temperate” red algal species, has been successfully cultured in a large-scale land-based aquaculture farm on the west coast of the island of Hawai‘i and used as feed for abalone production at the Big Island Abalone Company. The success with Pacific dulse in land-based culture suggests that other native macroalgae with temperate affinities may also be candidates for culture in Hawai‘i.
