	CANARI - Project Spotlight on BEAT
		In 2001, the species of seamoss was identified as Gelidium serrulatum by the National Herbarium of Trinidad and Tobago, at the University of the West Indies.
		As with Gelidium species elsewhere, its agar has a high gel strength and preliminary analysis at CANARI has indicated that it is superior to that of any of the Gracilaria species that are most commonly used as seamoss in the region.
		With the assistance of the Institute of Marine Affairs of Trinidad and Tobago, a household survey to assess the economic and cultural importance of the harvest to the community was undertaken by BEAT in December 2002.

	Gelidium morphology
		Gelidium is a polymorphic genus consisting mainly of highly branched algae with morphological differences in species ranging from from terete (cylindrical) to compressed branches.
		Growth occurs in Gelidium as the pericentral cells originate through transverse division from the apical cell and form apical cells of lateral branches.
		The layers of material in the pit plugs are used as a taxonomic characteristic and species of Gelidium have a single plug cap layer.

		Tokoroten (gelidium jelly) served with mustard is one of the small chilled dishes that adorns the summer table.
		Gelidium jelly is formed by stewing gelidium until it dissolves and then hardening it.
		The jelly was already being eaten in the eighth century and it was at this time that merchants selling gelidium jelly began to enliven the streets of Edo (former name of Tokyo) as a regular part of summer.

	Gelidium distribution
		Gelidium is found in every geographic region in the world except for the Arctic and Antarctic.
		Species of Gelidium are generally found on rocky substrate in the low intertidal to high subtidal areas.
		In looking for Gelidium at Hopkins, I noticed that it is abundant in some areas but completely absent in other areas.

	Gelidium
		Though historically, Gelidium has been used widely in the agar industry, in recent years it has been falling out of favor because it grows more slowly and is less responsive to aquaculture conditions than other agarophytes such as Gracilaria.
		The harvesting is done with relatively low technological processes including collecting from drift after storms, collection in the intertidal at low tide, and collection in the subtidal using snorkeling and SCUBA diving in deeper waters.
		Gelidium is also made into jellies which are eaten with other kinds of foods.

	2. SEAWEEDS USED AS A SOURCE OF AGAR
		Large quantities are harvested on the north coast of Spain, the middle to southern end of the coast of Portugal, and the west coast of Morocco.
		Gelidium species are small, slow growing plants, and while cultivation in ponds and tanks is possible, to date it has not been economically viable.
		Gelidium is such an excellent source of high quality agar that there is always a strong demand from any agar producer in the country of origin.

	The wild harvest and culture of the economically important species of Gelidium in Chile
		The thallus of Gelidium rex is rigid, crispate and cartilaginous, up to 30 cm tall, consisting of one to several erect axes devoid of branches in the basal half and irregularly branched in the apical portion of the thallus (Fig.
		Gelidium rex occurs in low intertidal to high subtidal clumps of plants, sometimes forming a belt, and is frequently under the shade of the kelp Lessonia nigrescens (Oliger and Santelices, 1981; Montalva and Santelices, 1981).
		Gelidium lingulatum is maximally abundant in summer; the peak being correlated with temperature and photoperiod.

		Data on the transverse relaxation time (T2) obtained at different concentrations indicate that this magnetic parameter is very sensitive to the agar concentration and hence particularly useful for the gel strength determination.
		The major advantage of this technique is that different spatial regions of heterogeneous samples can be studied non-destructively, and important differences for some water magnetic parameters may be found in Gelidium thalli depending on the spatial region investigated.
		This study shows that changes in gel concentration and quality in agarophytes could be monitored within the thallus as a function of the different environmental factors present during the algal growth.

	Gelidium robustum
		While a positive relation between cpue of Gelidium and upwelling index was found for the same regions.
		Gelidium robustum es la única especie explotada para producir agar, generando ingresos cercanos a 1.5 millones de dólares al año; sin embargo, a pesar de su importancia económica son pocos los estudios realizados para evaluar la biomasa de praderas sujetas a explotación.

	SEASONAL ADAPTATION AND SHORT-TERM METABOLIC RESPONSES OF Gelidium sesquipedale TO VARYING LIGHT AND TEMPERATURE
		The responses of Gelidium sesquipedale productivity, photosynthetic efficiency and respiration to changes in light and temperature were measured on plants acclimated to different light/temperature combinations, simulating winter and summer average conditions at two different depths.
		Gelidium sesquipedale fronds were collected at Cape Espichel (west coast of Portugal) at 10m depth during the Spring of 1993.
		The algae were kept in the laboratory for a period of over three weeks under stable water temperature, photoperiod and photon flux density (during daylight hours).

		This fact is clearly illustrated by the adaptations of the economically important agarophyte Gelidium pristoides (Turner) Kuetzing on the rocky shores of the Eastern Cape.
		In fact, in the upper elevations, the Gelidium pristoides growth form as a whole is modified by the extreme environment; the algae occur in the form of a turf ecotype.
		Anatomical variation in Gelidium pristoides along the intertidal gradient is reflected in the various cell dimensions (cell diameter, cytoplasm diameter and cell wall thickness) of the different cell types (surface, cortical and medullary cells).

		One of the more surprising results they found was to check that the Gelidium biomass has decreased (at least in one localitie) since the arriving of Sargassum in 1988.
		An important part of my work will be relationed with this, first of all corroborating it and then trying to know the implicated mechanisms on this decline.
		It will be done survival and growth experiments with Sargassum embryos on Bifurcaria, Gelidium and Cystoseira belts, under normal coberture and under cleared areas of the dominant algae.

		While studying the related species Gelidium variabile J. Agardh, Schmitz (1895) had found its cystocarpic structure to be different from that of other Gelidium J.V Lamouroux species and similar to those of the genus Ceratodictyon Zanardini.
		When she came to study the Biarritz material, being aware of the importance of these taxonomic features, Weber van Bosse (1921) realized that the entity described as Gelidium pannosum by Bornet (1892) was different from the species described by Grunow because the French plants had an obvious apical cell.
		Feldmann & Hamel (1936) indicated that Howe had called their attention to the fact that the basionym `Gelidium pannosum' Bornet would be a later homonym of G. pannosum Grunow and hence invalid; the combination Gelidiella pannosa (Bornet) Feldmann & Hamel would therefore also be invalid.

	Gelidium life history
		As Gelidium spores germinate, they undergo a characteristic process in which the contents of the spore are transferred to a germ tube and large vacuoles are formed in the spore cell, leaving it apparently empty.
		In the Polysiphonia -type life history, gametophytes are either male or female, described as dioecious, and an equal ratio of gametophytes and tetrasporophytes should exist in a population at any given time.
		Field studies of Gelidium have revealed that monecious gametophytes are found in some species where spermatangial patches and carpogonia occur on the same branch.

		We have previously shown that the patterned jaw movements during the rejection of Gelidium might be caused by long-lasting suppression of the monosynaptic transmission from the multiaction MA neurons to the jaw- closing (JC) motor neurons in the buccal ganglia, and that the modulation might be directly produced by some cerebral neurons.
		Application of either Ulva or Gelidium extract to the lips increased the fluorescence intensity, but the Gelidium extract always induced a larger change in fluorescence compared with the Ulva extract, although the solution used induced the maximum spike responses of the CBM1 for each of the seaweed extracts.
		When the firing frequency of the CBM1 activity following taste stimulation was estimated, the Gelidium extract induced a spike activity of ~30 spikes/s while the Ulva extract induced an activity of ~20 spikes/s, consistent with the effective firing frequency (> 25 spikes/s) for the synaptic modulation.

		Gelidium yields the best quality of agar, but its cultivation is difficult and its natural resource is less than Gracilaria, which is being cultivated in several countries and regions in commercial scale.
		The gel strength of an agar is determined for its 1% gel using a gel tester.
		Agar is an anionic polymer containing a small amount of sulfate (for Gelidium agar 1–3% and for Gracilaria agar 4–10%) and composed of agarose backbone.

		A new species of the red algal genus Gelidium, G. omanense M.J. Wynne, is described from the Sultanate of Oman, northern Arabian Sea.
		This species is a very commonly occurring eulittoral seaweed on the Omani coast, essentially one of the dominant species during the summertime southwest monsoon on exposed rocky shores.
		Recent studies of morphology and rbcL gene sequences, however, have demonstrated that this alga differs from other known species in Gelidium and should be recognized as a new species.
