local.descriptionSoutheast Asian Fisheries Development Center (SEAFDEC) is developing high-yielding and “ice-ice” disease-resistant seaweed strains in an aim to meet expanding industrial use and raise some $100 million in seaweed-carrageenan export. Ice-ice, which manifests in seaweeds’ whitening stalks and which withers its production, has become prevalent in extensive seaweed-producing areas in Mindanao and can wipe out crops particularly during cold months. SEAFDEC is now establishing a gene bank in order to put a marker on varieties that are ice-ice resistant while it is also developing other varieties that have good traits such as fast growth, high viscosity, high quality agar (usefulness as gel), all contributing to higher yield.en
