Saccharina japonica, introduced from Japan to China in the 1950s and grown on ropes in the Yellow Sea, was used as the main source for the production of crude alginates. Over 2 million wet tonnes of this kelp are grown by mariculture in China; this makes it the single largest maricultural crop in the world by far.
