Fact Sheet: Organic nutrient media for cultivation of Asparagopsis taxiformis – research and development recommendations

This research explores the use of black soldier fly larvae (BSFL) frass as an organic nutrient media for cultivating Asparagopsis taxiformis. BSFL frass, a byproduct of organic waste conversion, provides essential nutrients like nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. Initial findings suggest its potential to replace expensive synthetic fertilizers for seaweed farming. However, further research is needed to optimize remineralization processes, nutrient profiles, and contamination control to develop cost-effective and sustainable cultivation systems
