| Abstract | ||||
| This research was conducted in the waters of Oenaek, Kupang Regency, East Nusa Tenggara Province, Indonesia. The aim was to determine the growth and carrageenan content of seaweed seeds transported using the cold method. This research consisted of 4 treatments, namely treatment A (seed transportation for 2 days), treatment B (seed transportation for 4 days), treatment C (seed transportation for 6 days), and treatment K as a control without transportation (0 days). The results of the ANOVA analysis showed that there was no significant effect on absolute growth and carrageenan content on seaweed seeds that were transported for 2, 4, and 6 days compared to seeds that were not transported (0 days of transportation). Therefore, it can be concluded that seaweed seeds can be transported using the cold method at temperatures ranging from 22- 28°C for 6 days or 144 hours. The longer the transportation time, the greater the distance that can be traveled to send seeds so that it can meet the need for quality seeds for seaweed center areas that are constrained by seeds. | ||||
