Abstract
This article examines the utilization of seaweed in aquaculture as a sustainable solution for addressing challenges faced by the global aquaculture industry. In recent years, seaweeds have experienced a surge of interest in the realm of aquaculture due to their nutritional profile and environmental benefits. It explores the benefits of seaweed cultivation, including its role in improving water quality, providing habitat for biodiversity, and mitigating climate change impacts. The article also discusses different methodologies used in seaweed cultivation, their scalability, challenges, and future prospects. This paper explores the use and potential of seaweeds in aquaculture, assessing methodologies in cultivation, scope, and potential problems. A comprehensive analysis of research papers and studies is conducted to provide a thorough overview of seaweed's potential in aquaculture. The conclusion will purposefully revisit the potential future applicability of seaweeds within the blue economy.
