Abstract
There are four major phases of bioprospecting activity. The phases range from sample collection, isolation, characterization to product (drug) development and commercialization. Bioprospecting does not only comprise of a provider and an acceptor but the entire process of bioprospecting involves various components including the owner(s) of marine genetic resources, the bioprospectors, research and development group (if separate from the bioprospector) and end product users. A wide range of products include marine biological resources, from those domesticated for food through to high-value cosmetic markets and highend pharmaceuticals and nutraceuticals for human health. Not all of these can be characterized as being produced as a result of bioprospecting, and uses range from the direct incorporation of seaweed in food supplements, for example, through to the use of bioactive ingredients in creams, lotions and ointments as cosmeceuticals, and the isolation of active compounds for the pharmaceutical industry.
