Abstract
Kappaphycus alvarezii an economically important red tropical seaweed, is used as significant source for carrageenan that is used in various food, pharmaceutical, industrial and biotechnological applications. The commercial cultivation of K. alvarezii was initiated in the Philippines in the year 1960 and later it was introduced in many countries including India for experimental or commercial cultivation. The rapid growth rates, easy dispersal and ways to cultivate K. alvarezii makes the species adaptable and flourish in new habitats. It is reported that the species can double its biomass in 15-30 days
