Abstract
Sargassum is a common brown alga on tropical and subtropical shores. It is used as food, fertilizers, animal feeds and as a source of alginate. However, despite its extensive distribution and its presence in large quantities, its potential as an economic seaweed has not been fully realized. With the prospect of greater exploitation of this alga in the near future, a proper management scheme for this resource should be in place.
