      abstract = {Marine plant life is an abundant source of nutrients that  enhance the daily diet. In recent years, consuming diets  rich in seaweeds or their extracts have been shown to  provide health benefits due to being rich in  macronutrients, micronutrients and nutraceuticals. The  commercial value of seaweeds for human consumption is  increasing annually, and some countries harvest several  million tons annually. The seaweeds industry is valued at  around $12 billion in 2017, and supports millions of  families worldwide. Seaweeds production grew globally by 30  million tons in 2016. Seaweeds have seen increasing usage  in the food industry due to their abundance of beneficial  nutrients, vitamins and Omega3 fatty acids. To date there  have been no books that comprehensively cover up-to-date  information on seaweeds cultivation, processing, extraction  and nutritional properties. This text lays out the  properties and effects of seaweeds from their use as  bioresources to their use in the feed industry to their  applications in wastewater management and biofuels.  Sustainable Global Resources Of Seaweeds Volume 1:  Industrial Perspectives offers a complete overview of  seaweeds from their cultivation and processing steps to  their bioactive compounds and Industrial applications,  while also providing the foundational information needed to  understand these plants holistically. Chapters in this  volume focus on seaweeds bioresources, ecology and biology,  composition and cultivation, plus usage of seaweeds  extracts for the feed industry. An entire section is  dedicated to waste water treatment, bioremediation, biofuel  and biofertilizer application of seaweeds. For any  researcher in need of a comprehensive and up-to-date single  source on seaweeds cultivation, this volume provides all  the information necessary to gain a thorough understanding  of this ever-important product.},
