4 Conclusion
Epiphyte and ice-ice diseases are the common diseases on the seaweed at Jeneponto region and its surrounding.
The existence of the seaweed diseases especially the ice-ice can decrease the production of seaweed due to the
failure of harvest because the seaweed infected by ice-ice cannot survive on the ropes stretch. The existence of the
seaweed diseases are not significant effect of parasite epiphyte and ice-ice disease on the quality of carrageenan.
