Tangnetværket har til formål at fremme produktion, anvendelse, formidling og viden om tang, herunder styrke samarbejdet nationalt.
Af kommende Tangnetværksmøde vil vi lige nævne at vi planlægger besøg hos Lonza Copenhagen i Vallensbæk, som er en globalt førende producent af agarose, der blandt andet benyttes til protein separation inden for medicinal-industrien. Besøget vil finde sted i starten af marts. Inden da skal vi også have et Tangnetværksmøde, hvor Ruth præsentere sin nye bog om makroalger.
The 23 nd International Seaweed Symposium (ISS), 2019
April 28 – May 3, 2019 at the International Convention Center in Jeju, Korea.
The scientific theme of ISS 2019 is “Seaweeds: From Tradition to Innovation“. To harmonize the ‘tradition’ and ‘innovation’, ISS 2019 will take advantages of advanced seaweed aquaculture technologies and the broad spectrum of algal research in Korea.

Special Report: Seaweed and Microalgae Driving New Product Development
Seaweed is making waves in nutrition-rich NPDs and with its many varieties is tipped to become the next super green “superfood”, and this staying true to its title, seaweed is finding new product applications in Western markets due to its wide ranging health benefits. Although seaweed cultivation has been around for decades, the challenges for today’s burgeoning industry is to keep pace with demand for the super speeding growing and nutrient-rich algae that is being included in new product innovations [...]
ASCog MSC præsenterer fælles standard for tang gældende fra 1 marts 2018
ASC(Aquaculture Stewardship Council) og MSC(Marine Stewardship Council) præsenterer fælles standard for tang gældende fra 1 marts 2018 The Seaweed Standard sets a number of requirements for seaweed harvesting and farming practices. Environmentally, seaweed operations must show that they actively minimise their impact on the surrounding…and socially responsible use of seaweed resources. Meeting global demand can be achieved sustainably and responsibly With seaweed production increasing alongside demand for certification, the MSC and ASC recognise the… […]
Algae Is the Vegan Protein Food of the Future, Says CNN
A recent article by CNN hailed algae as “the food of the future”. The vegan dish is protein-rich, requires no fresh water to produce, and releases oxygen into the atmosphere, unlike most the world’s protein today that is derived from animals. Around 70 percent of the world’s available fresh water is used to rear livestock or cultivate crops. Algae, however, can flourish without the presence of fresh water. It can grow anywhere from deserts to oceans, ponds, and aquariums. This [...]
Mysterious masses of seaweed assault Caribbean islands 11 juni 2018
Mysterious masses of seaweed assault Caribbean islands 11 juni 2018 In retrospect, 2011 was just the first wave. That year, massive rafts of Sargassum—a brown seaweed that lives in the open ocean—washed up on beaches across the Caribbean, trapping sea turtles and filling the air with the stench of rotting eggs. “It presented immense challenges,” […]
Common seaweed outperforms chemotherapy for breast cancer, researchers reveal
Breast cancer, a major cause of death from cancer for women of all ethnicities, claimed 42,000 lives in the United States in 2014 alone – a truly grim statistic. But a new study – in which seaweed worked better than a leading FDA-approved pharmaceutical medication to combat breast cancer – is raising hopes that this safe, natural superfood could alter the face of cancer treatment as we know it. […]
Seaweed diet reveals potential for precision manipulation of gut bacteria
Seaweed diet reveals potential for precision manipulation of gut bacteria Finding ways to manipulate the massive population of bacteria living inside our gut is turning out to be a tricky proposition for medical researchers. The ecology of our microbiome is enormously complex and we are only just learning of the broad effect gut bacteria has on our overall health. […]
