This document was preceded by FAO Fisheries Technical Paper No. 288, Production and Utilization of Products from Commercial Seaweeds and GLOBEFISH Research Programme Vol. 48, Seaweed Production and Markets, both by the same author and published in 1987 and 1996 respectively. Since these are out-of-print it was considered timely to report on the prospects for seaweed production and seaweed products in developing countries and to consider the possible role for FAO to promote development.
