Description:
BLO Kelp Granules
Ascophyllum nodosum is a brown seaweed belonging to the order Fucales. It grows on rocks at about the mid intertidal level in exposed areas, where it replaces Fucus that prefers calmer waters. The brownish-green thalli grow in tufts, each of them composed of strapshaped fronds of different ages all growing from a common holdfast base. These thick flattened straps can reach a length of 1 to 1.5 m and have nodes at intervals along their length with air bladders that serve as floats so that the plant can stand upright in the water. They are irregularly branched with short lateral branches. The age of the seaweed can be deduced from the number of nodes — they can often live for more than fifteen years.
Harvesting
Harvesting takes place throughout the year on the upper intertidal zone. This is done in way so as to preserve the resources by cutting more than 20 cm above the holdfast so that the thallus can grow back again quickly.
