Taiwan China (XTW)
Coastline 1,566 km
Taiwan has centuries-old
traditions of seaplant utilisation and it is a leading
developer of aquaculture technology. We do not have
statistics that enable us to distinguish between Taiwan
production and production from the rest of China but for
the genera indicated we believe that Taiwan is a
significant contributor.
