local.seafdecaqd.extractThe export-oriented seaweed industry may soon get relief from the anticipated breakthrough in biotechnology researches that would eliminate the menacing "ice-ice" disease spreading in seaweed farms nationwide. "By next year, we should have enough ice-ice disease-resistant seaweed strains in our seed bank that we could distribute to seaweed farms especially in the major seaweed-producing areas in the country," said Dr. Joebert Toledo, director of the Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center (SEAFDEC) in Tigbauan, Iloilo. Seaweed experts describe "ice-ice" as a phenomenon caused by low salinity, change in water temperature and light intensity that cause stress to the seaweeds.en
