Inquiry About Purchasing Asparagopsis Taxiformis Explants

[kevin_corderobrizuela2388]

I'm currently launching a venture focused on cultivating Asparagopsis taxiformis for cattle feed in Costa Rica. We're collaborating with the Bio-Entrepreneurship Laboratory at the Costa Rica Institute of Technology to propagate the algae in a controlled lab environment.
At this stage, we're searching for Asparagopsis taxiformis explants. Does anyone know where we might acquire them?
Any guidance or leads would be greatly appreciated!

Here is a list of five seaweed farms or research centers focusing on seaweed cultivation and propagation, including Asparagopsis taxiformis, which could help you in your research:

1. Marine Biological Laboratory (MBL): The MBL is leading the Tropical Seaweed Farm Project, aiming to design and develop a cultivation system for tropical seaweed species like Eucheumatopsis isiformis. Their research also focuses on cost-effective biomass production for biofuels.
