Comment[edit]

"Ascophyllum is very popular amongst the science community and has been claimed to be both the most active seaweed on the planet as well as the most researched by the academic community."

I consider this to be a clumsy paragraph! I would like to rewrite it however I don't have the reference noted and can't check it. Will consider.Osborne (talk) 21:19, 22 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure that the English/local names should be in italics. What do you think?

Old references not valid?[edit]

Unsigned editor removed facts claiming "references from 20 years ago not up-to-date". I am not qualified to say, but it seems to me like we shouldn't do that unless there's superceding references to replace them with. In any case, I changed the fact to indicate past tense, and cleaned up the wording, so I hope that helps. If there are new facts, please include them. B.S.

The most popular amongst scientists !!??[edit]

removed this sentence :
Ascophyllum is very popular amongst the science community and has been claimed to be both the best known seaweed on the planet as well as the most researched by the academic community.
because the reference quoted
T. L. Senn (1987). Seaweed and Plant Growth. Clemson, S.C.: T.L. Senn. p. 181 pp. ISBN 0-939241-01-3.
does not say so, just :
The Norwegian ASCOPHYLLUM nodosum is to the author's knowledge the most widely researched type and his research has been confined mainly to this type. This is largely because the supply of the product is stable and the processing of the seaweed biomass is subject to rigid quality control.
Not really the same ! --Channer (talk) 18:45, 18 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

BIOL 412 Honors Edits[edit]

Hello! I am GoldFinch14, and I am working on this article as part of my college biology lab. I added information to every section of the article: description, reproduction, ecology, distribution, and uses. I also created a new section called Scientific Name History. Lastly, I added an image to the ecology section and links to other Wikipedia articles. I hope you like what I added/edited! GoldFinch14 (talk) 22:01, 15 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
