Abstract

In the extensive Argentine coast numerous species of macroalgae of importance at global level are found. In this work the most relevant studies published to date on the uses of seaweed are discussed and Argentine researches are mentioned in order to assess the state of knowledge of the resource. The review shows that in our country numerous works that prove the value of algae in human and animal feeding, in the production of chemical compounds beneficial to health and in environmental applications were published. However, certain areas such as the development of biofuels and the use in the agricultural field reveal the need to deepen research. It is concluded that Argentine seaweeds, besides having numerous applications, are a resource with a great potential for commercial exploitation for the benefit of coastal populations.
