One notable innovation is the use of Laminaria japonica hydrolysate (LPH) to promote the accumulation of fucoxanthin in Phaeodactylum tricornutum, which has shown to enhance both cell growth and fucoxanthin production significantly (Wang et al., 2021). Additionally, the replacement of traditional starch with resistant starch derived fromLaminaria japonica in aquaculture feed has demonstrated improvements in water quality and nutrient utilization, thereby reducing environmental pollution (Wang et al., 2023). These techniques not only enhance the efficiency of Laminaria japonica farming but also contribute to sustainable aquaculture practices. 7.2 Advances in monitoring and management The monitoring and management of Laminaria japonica farming have seen significant improvements through the integration of advanced technologies. For instance, the use of biochar derived fromLaminaria japonica has been studied for its environmentally persistent free radicals (EPFRs), which vary based on the pyrolysis temperature and the habitat of the algae (Huang et al., 2020). This research provides insights into the optimal conditions for biochar production, which can be used to enhance soil quality and carbon sequestration in farming systems. Moreover, the cultivation of kelp has been shown to effectively improve water quality and regulate phytoplankton communities in eutrophic bays, highlighting the importance of environmental monitoring in kelp farming (Jiang et al., 2020). 7.3 Future directions inLaminaria japonica farming Looking ahead, the future of Laminaria japonica farming lies in the continued development of sustainable and efficient farming practices. One promising direction is the large-scale implementation of organic and low-input farming systems, which have been shown to benefit biodiversity and ecosystem services in agricultural landscapes (Katayama et al., 2019). Additionally, the integration of Laminaria japonica into multi-trophic aquaculture systems could further enhance nutrient recycling and reduce environmental impacts. Future research should also focus on the genetic improvement of Laminaria japonica strains to increase resilience to environmental stressors and enhance biomass yield. By leveraging these technological advances and innovative practices, Laminaria japonica farming can continue to grow sustainably and contribute to global food security and environmental health. 8 Policy and Regulatory Frameworks 8.1 National and international policies The cultivation of Laminaria japonica, a significant marine economic macroalgae, is influenced by various national and international policies aimed at promoting sustainable aquaculture practices. In China, where L. japonica is extensively farmed, national policies emphasize the reduction of coastal eutrophication and the enhancement of marine environmental health. These policies align with international frameworks such as the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly Goal 14, which focuses on conserving and sustainably using the oceans, seas, and marine resources. The integration of L. japonica farming into these policies is crucial for mitigating the environmental impacts of coastal eutrophication and promoting sustainable marine aquaculture (Xu et al., 2011). 8.2 Regulatory compliance and best practices Regulatory compliance in the cultivation of L. japonica involves adhering to guidelines that ensure environmental sustainability and the health of marine ecosystems. Best practices include monitoring nutrient uptake and managing the balance of nitrogen and phosphorus in coastal waters to prevent eutrophication. Studies have shown that L. japonica has a significant capacity for nutrient uptake, which can be optimized under specific conditions of temperature and irradiance (Xu et al., 2011). Additionally, the production of biochar fromL. japonica biomass must comply with regulations concerning the formation of environmentally persistent free radicals (EPFRs),
