A SELECTED BIBLIOGRAPHY ON SEAWEED AQUACULTURE RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT IN THE TROPICAL PACIFIC

Scope

This Bibliography has attempted to cover materials on seaweeds and seaweed products relevant to the tropical Pacific region, particularly the Pacific island countries, although many references also relate to other countries in the Tropics . In addition, references on Ciguatera-causing algae are also included. The bibliography was compiled using a number of sources for the references, including personal libraries. Several databases were machine searched, and most of the Eucheuma references that are included here are post 1987 as the older literature has been adequately reviewed. References on seagrass are also included. There are also several other recent reviews available on related aspects. The Akatsuka volume announced for publication in 1992 should be consulted as should the Proceedings of the XlVth International Seaweed Symposium and a special issue (No.2) of volume 5 of the Journal of Applied Phycology. The "Grey" literature has been more difficult to trace, and undoubtedly pertinent reports have been missed, hence this is not an exhaustive list.
