CATDOLL : CATDOLL: Where is the most abundant kelp produced?

1. Where is the most kelp produced?

There are breeding operations along the coasts of Liaoning, Shandong, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Fujian and the northern part of Guangdong Province in my country. Wild kelp can be found on rocks at a depth of 2-3 meters below the low tide line. Due to the influence of temperature differences and light from north to south, the growth and maturity of kelp varies. The kelp in the same sea area or on the same seedling rope also matures at different times. Therefore, the harvest period lasts from mid-May to early July.

Kelp is a kind of seaweed with high iodine content. Cultivated kelp generally contains 3-5% iodine, and up to 7-10%. The iodine and alginic acid extracted from it are widely used in medicine, food and chemical industry. Iodine is one of the essential elements for the human body. Iodine deficiency can cause thyroid enlargement. Eating more kelp can prevent and treat this disease. It can also prevent arteriosclerosis and reduce the accumulation of cholesterol and fat.

Some foods that should not be eaten during pregnancy include crab, turtle, turtle shell (i.e. turtle shell), kelp, millet, purslane, apricots and almonds, black fungus, hawthorn, etc.

In 1958, it was successfully cultivated in Fujian Province, and the difficulties of artificial kelp seedling cultivation and summering in the sea and indoors were overcome. Mature kelp species were cultivated for productive seedling cultivation and large-scale cultivation.
